"Printer is in an error state" and I can't fix it! Pixma mx310

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.  I've run Windows online troubleshooting.  I've downloaded new drivers.  I've restarted the computer, the printer, and everything I can turn on and off.  I've tried different USB ports.  I've listed the printer as the default.  Nada.  "Printer is not responding" is the status report.  If I delete the document in the queue, it tells me that the status report is printing, then that it can't print, then it deletes itself, then it cycles over again with the status report in the queue, etc.  If anyone at canon or anyplace else can help me, I'd be very grateful.  Otherwise, this baby goes out the window and I find a different company to get a printer from.   Argh!

Hi seecee,
You mentioned that the printer has an error, what is the exact error that appears on the LCD screen of your printer?

  • What is error 4007 and how can i fix it?

    I haven't found anything helpful online, regarding the Unkown Error (-4007) I'm getting when I try to use iTunes Match?
    I'm suspecting that it might have something to do with the OS and iTunes versions that I have running on my old MacBook Pro.
    Anyone have any insight into possibly fixing the error?
    MacBook Pro
    2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.3
    Thanks much!

    I managed to get through to someone at support.
    They said to try this:
    Open iTunes
    Store > Sign Out
    Quit iTunes
    Let it sit for a moment before re-opening iTunes
    Store > Sign In
    Turn on iTunes Match
    It seems to be working for me. Crossing fingers that it continues to work.

  • "printer is in an error state"

    Everytime I try to print it says "printer is in an error state" on a pop up on my computer.  Tried connecting via USB and it still won't work.

    Hello, 
    Please try the below mentioned steps that should resolve the issue.
    Power Off the Computer.
    While the printer is ON, remove the ink cartridges and the papers
    While the printer is ON, unplug the power cord from back of the printer and also unplug any other cable from the back of the printer ( like USB/Ethernet/Fax cables)
    Wait for 60 seconds.
    Plug in the power cord to the printer. If printer does not power on automatically then hit the ON button.
    Install the cartridges when prompted.
    When the printer is steady only then connect the USB cable.
    Regards,
    Jabzi

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

    Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

    I am so upset. Please read my messages from my postings. This has nothing to do with SIM Card, Hard Reset, Apps, Google Gmail Account, nothing. I have gone thru all of this and NOTHING has fixed this. I went to the store today and spoke to the manager on duty. He said he had to try and duplicate the problem before he could help me. I showed him "screen captures" I did, told him it's out here on the board, etc. etc. Needless to say I ended up coming home with the same phone, "he" erased the phone and started over again. Well guess what, it's not a error with "MY" Gmail account being corrupted because if that is the case Mrs. Hayden14 has a bad Gmail account too. If you guessed it, the phone just crashed again! I was able this time to capture a report with ALL the history in it and saved screen captures to PROVE to him this is not a joke. Even the report says "Crash". This time it was something else I don't even or ever have used. I have also wasted over a day , yes a full work day on this without question.
    I have had to get the run around for the last day. This is totally ridiculous, including them putting me on hold for 55 min. Oh, that's another funny story. Anyways, tomorrow morning I am going to the Verizon store one last and final time and I hope they decided to do the right thing and give me a phone that does not crash and works. It would be handy at work for me, especially where I work at. I hope hope hope someone listens to and helps me. I would love for them to see me walk in, take my phone and say to me were going to get you another phone, hand it to me, see if it works and prove it's the device. I don't hear anyone having this issue on other phone types so sounds like its the phone type.
    I have had 3 phones now in the matter of 2 weeks. I am sure the FedEx charges will add up to a cost of a new phone at some point and start to outbalance your requirement to give me the same phone when it has the same problem.
    Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

  • What is an error 1450, and how do I fix it?

    What is an error 1450, and how do I fix it-
    Yes, unfortunatly using windows xp, this error keeps coming up. I am completely updated on Itunes, please help and thanks in advance.

    I did a Google search on Error 1450, and it seems to be a 'lack of resources' issue within windows. Not related to iTunes.
    Maybe shut down all other programs (including the TSR programs you may have loaded) and see if it helps?
