My 5220 printer gives me a C000 error messge.

My Canon is an MG5220 Out of nowhere this message screen came up. It tells me to turn off computer, then turn on again. I did....same message. It says to "see the manual." Love that.
I unplugged the cables to the printer while it was off. Then turned on. No change
Plz help
Kris Serven

Hi Kris Serven,
The C000 error is a generic internal error code, it could mean one of many things.  To try to resolve the C000 error, please follow the following steps:
 1.  Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and USB cable.
 2.  Remove paper from the automatic sheet feeder (in the back).
 3.  Gently pull jammed paper out, if any.
     3-1.  If paper is visible from the ASF, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
     3-2.  If paper is visible from the paper output slot, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
 4.  If the paper tears and a piece of that remains inside the printer, open the printer cover and remove the paper from inside the printer.
 5.  Check ASF with a bright light to check for obstructions.  Remove any if found.
 6.  Open the rear cover to check if the paper is jammed.
 7.  Pull out the cassette and check if the paper is jammed inside the cassette area.
 8.  Load paper back into the ASF or cassette.
 9.  Reconnect the power cord, turn on the printer and confirm that the Alarm light is off. (If there was any jammed paper remaining in the printer, the paper may be automatically ejected.)
If the above procedure does not resolve the C000 error, please contact our support group using the following link:

  • Repeated C000 error MG5350

    Recently my printer started giving a C000 error message. When I got this error, I restarted the printer, but the error persisted.
    After some googleing, I took the ink cartridges out of the printer and reinserted them (whilst also checking if there was no stuck plastic on the cartridges, or other strange stuff on the inside of my printer). I then noticed some leaked ink on the inside of my printer (on the right side), but I do not know if this is relevant to this problem.  Because I removed the power cable out of the printer, it seemed like this solution worked, because it did start printing a few pages (just one printerjob to be exactly), when the second job started, it again gave the c000 error after printing one page.
    Powering down the printer and removing the power cable again still gives the same result. Since the printer can print, it seems unlikely that there is a problem with the ink cartridges or with any stuck paper, however, I might be wrong.
    Can somebody shed some light on my problem? Thanks in advance!

    Adobe posted a troubleshooting document in Illustrator area:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/824/cpsid_82414.html
    I read it thoroughly since I am still experiencing the popup error messages when using either selection tool on objects.  I did a uninstall and install of CS5.1 (CS5.1 for the suite 5.5 upgrade) and did not install the VectorScribe and XtreamPath 1.4 plugins. The "unplugged" Illustrator worked fine. I then installed VectorScribe -- no problems. Then XtreamPath 1.4 - voila the error popped up.
    Anyone else use XtreamPath 1.4 with Lion and had problems? I sent CSValley Support to ask if their plugin works under Lion (according to their system specs, it should).
    UPDATE  8-5-11:  (CSValley promptly replied back that they had not received any issues similar to mine.) 
    I installed both plugins (VectorScribe and XP 1.4) on my Macbook Pro and had no problems there which led me to think the XP plugin might be corrupted on my main work machine (MacPro). So I copied the plugin from the MBP to the MacPro and happily (knock on wood) am not getting the error messages.
    Somewhere along the way of installing the CS5.5 upgrade and MacOSLion, my XtreamPath plugin was affected.

    Since upgrading to ios 8.0.2, airprint will give error (no printer found" After a reboot, it locates and prints, then next time same error code. Any ideas?

    Hi bdtcop,
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue with AirPrint. Here is an article for you with some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful for resolving this issue:
    About AirPrint
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If you're unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    Rolando - We don't need all that information about the data model and such. Can you describe what the application does on the page that gives the error? I mean, you submit the page, it performs some after-submit processes (what do they do and how many processes are there?) and then it has some kind of branch to the same page or another page. Describe the processes, show us the success message for each process, exactly as they are formatted in the process definition page, and describe the branches (to the same page, another page, do they use URL redirects? And also please post the entire URL that you see when the error page is displayed.

  • I have a C000 error message when trying to turn on my Pixma MG8120.

    I replaced some ink cartridges and immediately received a C000 error and cannot turn the machine on now.  There are no paper jams.  I tried putting the old cartridges back in - but that didn't help.  The printer has been working fine til now.  Help?

    Same problem here...nothing in my settings have changed since the upgrade and I've checked my cookie settings and they allow 3rd party cookies. What's up Mozilla? I've been faithful to you for years and you let me down now?

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • Printing dunning notices using SMARTFORMS,error during parameter transfer

    Hi Friends,
                    I face a error message "Include text ZGA_DUN_HDR does not exist (object TEXT, ID ST)" when i run the dunning run.

  • When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

    Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
    I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.

  • Since installing the latest update, Firefox will not load; it gives me the following error -- XML Parsing Error: not well formed.

    since installing the latest update, Firefox first operated with some errors but now will not load at all; it gives me the following error --

    locations chrome://browser/content/browser.xml

    please note that the words "utton ID" are exactly as the error message gives it; and at the end of the message there are exactly 19 hyphens.
    I don't know why this faulty code is referencing things to do with "chrome"... the Chrome browser is not installed on this PC or anywhere on our network.
    Also, this is not the first problem I had after clicking Firefox's prompt for the latest update. Before Firefox retreated into this error message, it was loading but running with some faults...
    1. the bookmark symbol was not appearing on the right hand side of the URL line, so I had always to click on "bookmark this page", after which the bookmark symbol did appear; however I don't know if the bookmarking function worked properly.
    2. the back and forward buttons were not highlighted, as if I had not come from a previous page; so once I clicked on a link to a new page I could not go back to where I came from because Fiefox thought I hadn't come from anywhere.
    3. there may have been other errors, but I did not find them.
    How do I reinstate my Firefox program to work properly please? do I have to download the latest version and reinstal? if so, do I have to remove the old version first? or is there a fix?
    Even to write this message I have been forced to use (yuk -- I don't like to say this!!!) Internet Explorer. So please -- I need help urgently.

They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.

  • Can't share local printer in Windows 7 Pro-error 0x000006d9

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a laptop and wanted to share my local printer, attached via USB to my desktop (tower) in my home.  My desktop runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  My laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    When I try to share my printer, accept the default printer name (or modify it), from the sharing tab of printer properties, I get an error:  "printer settings could not be saved.  Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006d9)".
    I did some searching in this forum and via google but this error code does not appear for this type of issue (i.e. printer sharing).  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I also verified my Event Viewer and see no errors whatsoever related to printer or network settings or file and printer sharing.  I CAN share my files on THIS desktop with the laptop and have already transferred files from the desktop to the laptop successfully.  But printer sharing is giving the above error. 
    ** Also, I MAY have a related problem but I am unsure about this, so I wanted to mention this in this same thread in case they are related:  I cannot start the homegroup listener service from services on the desktop (win 7 pro) - get error code 2147023143.  Homegroups are NOT setup (not created) on neither the laptop nor the desktop.  Again, I tried to search for this error code but the results are inconclusive.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Its now been THREE YEARS since this "bug" has been discovered and resolved by a user, and there is not one word about it in MS's online help.  Today I had this exact issue of not being able to share a printer on Windows 7 with other computers on my
    my local network.  And this is the same printer I've been sharing with the same network for nearly FIVE YEARS!!  I have always used 3rd party virus/firewall software, but I don't disable the windows firewall.  Rather I just set it to "Manual"
    because some network software seems to need it occassionally.  The result is the same however, as is the solution.  I had updated and reinstalled my printer software, and apparantly sharing is disabled by default.  After stumbling upon this
    thread, after several hours wasted searching Windows Help and Microsoft "NON"-Support websites and KB's, I simply ran the firewall just long enough to enable sharing, and instantly the backlog of spoolled print jobs began printing.
    Thank you.  You would think MS would have at least written this solution into their help files by now ... but than again, they are probably making money with their "paid" support option from all the desperate people who suddenly can't use there printers. 
    Probably charging $50 just to tell people to turn the firewall on for a few seconds.  I can't think of another reason to conveniently omit this simple solution from the "free" support.
