This is usually an error indicating that one or both of the cartridges are not being recognised and is usually accompanied by a message on the computer screen saying which one. Try cleaning the copper strip on the front of the cartridge (in front of the label on the side) and if that doesnt work it needs to be replaced

Are you using official Cannon cartridges or "ink refill" cartridges? Did you reset your ink levels in the software?

I want to scan with canon mx330 without ink in the printer

I have a canon mx330 fax print and scan all in one printer
To scan without ink just hold the back button in after the ink message comes up it should eventually take you to the main menu then you can hit the scan button.

I have a PIXMA MP450 printer and error code 5100 displays on the LCD. What do I need to do?

error code 5100 means it cannot recognize the follwing UO51 cartridge. 
A lot of the time the cartridges need to be re-set. for this :-- 

Remove both cartridges, turn off the printer for a few seconds. Then, restart your printer and wait for it to warm-up. When it's finished warming up and you see the error code for missing ink cartridges, open the printer and insert both of them and close the printer. 

That might take care of it because the restarting of your printer, "fakes it out" every once in a while.

Hope this helps.
thanks for using FixYa

Canon pixma mp460 all in one printer will not recognise ink cartr

You need to check that the canon label on top of the cartridge is near to the to the two lugs, there should be only a tiny gap. The label should not be placed at the bottom near the curved lug. If it is not in the right place I think it covers the chip that talks with the printer and thus sends an error message.
