PIXMA TR4520 Support Code 7800

[skisk8r]

I get Support Code 7800. I cannot clear the code so I can reset the printer. And I cannot access the ink cartridges to change them. How can I clear the code so the buttons will work for the other functions. Unplugging does not work either. It is locked on the error code message.

What causes this? I have the same issue. Seems like every 2 yrs I have to replace the stupid thing. It's cheaper than having it serviced. I think it's time for a different brand. These things are being made cheaper & cheaper every year.

I was expecting an answer to my question, looking to see if it was possible to clear the error code, not redirecting me to something I already knew.

The error indicates your printer needs repair. The code can't be cleared.

Untrue

Canon tries to make you pay $19.99 to even SPEAK to technical support to find out why their product has malfunctioned (through no fault of the customer).

I have the same issue. Extremely frustrating, especially when there isn't even an option to simply email customer service...

I feel like Canon's response to this is like, "You bought a cheap printer and now it's taken a crap for good. Call us and we might give you like 20 percent off to buy another cheap printer!!!" 

And when I use my account to figure out a support option, this is the error message I get: 

Oops!

Not worth the effort to pursue. This is the second canon printer to crap out on me. Cheao printers die young. Moved on to Epson.
