Well, here I am, nine years later, having the same problem. I have a Canon Pixma MP180 and want to use it only as scanner, with no cartridges at all. The method described does not do the trick for my Canon. So, could you help me?

how to fix this error e5 in canon mp140

Error Code 4 is the machine detects no cartridge. You must insert both cartridges in order to use it.

Please use the Canon MP Navigator which is bundled with your MP140. Or else you may download from http://support-my.canon-asia.com/

I wonder if you could just inject the cartridges with water with a medical syringe, a turkey syringe, or something like that. Then it would be tricked into thinking the cartridges are full of ink. Use a sterile syringe in case you ***** yourself.

E22 = Carriage error
E42 22 = Scanner error

hi,
I need a driver for my canon pixma mp140

Halo Barbara,
Did you mean Pixma MP140/160/150/170/180?. I never hear Canon pixma MP10. Well,it doesn't matter. Did you refill your cartridge?. Error code E6 indicates that ink level is not detected properly by the printer. It usually occurs in refilled cartridge. To fix this problem you need to deactivate ink level detection function by performing following procedure:
For MP150/160/170/180: Press START button (Black or Colour)
For MP140: Hold down STOP/RESET button for about 9 seconds

Please rate me as Fixya if this solution useful for you. Thanks
