3 beeps is still telling you that the printhead has a problem. Did you put in a new printhead? You also have to tell your printer by holding the resume button for the correct amount of beeps to set it for the printhead you have installed.

From Canon sounds like print head problem
BC10e for Black only or BC11e for combo.
1. Replace or reinstall the BJ Cartridge ( Print Head ) - BJC-85 2. The BJC-85 may require repair 3. Turn the printer off for at least 15 minutes

---------------------------------

3 times, probably something wrong with the cartridge.

This is for when it beeps 8 times, but you might try this...

You should clean or replace the absorber pad at some point but most of the time you can get away with resetting the ink counter a few times before you need to clean or replace the pad.

The 6 beeps along with the orange light stands for "Re-install BJ cartridge or replace it". You might have already fixed the problem by replacing the cartridge, and you're still stuck with the error indication. Waste Error Reset 1: Power off printer 2: Hold Resume button then press and hold POWER, the beeper will sound once. 3: Hold POWER and release RESUME 4: Press RESUME twice 5: When the indicator lights steady, press RESUME three(3) times. The indicator should be orange. 6: Press Power to set data If it still doesn't go away, try cleaning the contacts the cartridge makes with the printhead. Dip the carts contacts(dipping only the contact area) in shallow hot water for a minute, then wipe dry with a cloth that doesn't shed fiber. Also clean the contacts on the printhead using a damp cloth, maybe also some alcohol. If it still doesn't go away you have to think of replacing the printhead, or chucking it. Good luck
