-   canon i550 screen says "printer not responding". It is connected by USB. I have tried all the things I could find with no luck. The power light flashes green for a few seconds then flashes orange 7 times, then back to green for a few seconds then back to orange 7 times and the cycle repeats endlessly, it will do that for days. If I push the power button, the print carage moves back and forth like it is going to print, then it turns off and the light goes out. Pushing the power button again the green light comes on green followed by the repeting cycle of 7 orange flashes and repeats. Note: I have a cannon MP160 that will work without a problem.-   lloydlm1

Have referred to windows help page...followed various suggested actions. still not working. I suspect the Print head cartridge has failed. Also in help, right cliked on Canon S400 icon, went to details, followed instruction into window asking for "PATH". I cannot understand or find this?? Can you help? Regards Peter Richards-   prlink

Hi,

If you still can print, it signal's low ink. If it flashes immediately as you turn on the printer and nothing's happen with the printer or no movement or unusable due to error flashing, there is an error either with your ink cartridges (need raplacement) and or hardware mechanical errors. Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Rosener
