Sorry i can't be of more help. I know you said you printed a while ago; not knowing how printer is situated figured perhaps something might have fallen into it.

I have found the Canon telephone help line a great resource.

Talked to support they determined circuit board is blown. Wow after only 5 printouts!

Canon wont honor the warranty because it was bought from an ebay seller. Doesnt matter it was new and sealed. Be interesting to see what squaretrade will do next.

I've now taken Canon OFF our approved purchase list company wide. Will recommend same to our clients.

Looks like for cameras its Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony etc.. for now on... Printers and other products will be purchased from other vendors from now on. I'm curious about the new epson printers that come with bottles of ink...

i've also noticed lots of comments online with people having various issues with this printer.
