Does anyone know how to make the scan function work when there is an empty ink cartridge? I cannot get past the "Replace ink cartridge" message on the printer and the computer software says "Printer maintenance in progress." Is there anyway to get around this? I need to scan today and I cannot get a new ink cartridge this quickly!
I just came up with the same problem. But if you keep pressing the right most button (the red one) for 5 seconds the message "replace ink cartridge" disappears and then you can use it as a scanner.

The printing and copying functions of my Pixma MX700 work fine but the scanning function doesn't work. We recently got a new hard drive. Could that have anything to do with this? Does the printer need to be uninstalled/reinstalled?
