Turn off printer
Disconnect from AC
Press OK button on printer 5 times
Reconnect AC
Turn on printer
If this does not work
Try several more times
If it still does not work
Try again but do not turn on printer until next morning
This has worked for me twice so far.
Also you might try removing the print head and rinsing under hot water until water runs clear before you start the above proceedure.

Hi,
This trick does not work for me.
Other one with lifting up ink cartridge cover did. Thank's to kdean823.
Best,

I replaced the printhead as other suggested and this solved the problem. I wonder if the printhead failure is the result of using non-Canon ink. Any others with experience or problems using non-Canon inks?

I use non canon ink all the time, its not an ink problem.Try the following:
Turn off printer
Disconnect from AC
Press OK button on printer 5 times
Reconnect AC
Turn on printer
If this does not work
Try several more times
If it still does not work
Try again but do not turn on printer until next morning

This worked for me. I cleaned the ribbon as well as taking out all the cartridges and cleaning the holder. I think the problem was a cartridge that I had refilled. I threw it away and got a factory one. Didn't want to chance it.
