AMAZING!!!  So easy but not somewhere you would look to fix it!!!

 

When I went to print something it didn't respond to CNTL P the first time so that must have been the message that something was wrong.

 

Thanks so much.

What kind of printer is it?
MY EQUIPMENT:
EOS Rebel T4i
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II
(2) B+W 5.8 010 UV - Haze 1x MRC (F - PRO Series filter)
HOYA 58mm HMC Multi-Coated ND8 Filter

It is MX 470 printer, copier, scanner

I did a quick search and came across this. Although it is for a 432, hopefully this imformation helps as canon printers are assembled relatively simular. 🙂
