The Canon PIXMA iP4000 has a RESUME/CANCEL button which allows you to resume a print job after an error has been fixed or cancel a print job altogether.

may the catridge is not working fine i thik you did all the cleaning test but you fail i advise you to use new catridge then try it will works

have a nice day and dont forget to rate please.

In this case what i would request u to do is....... Take out both the catridges from the Printer......... Take 2 Paper Towels one should be wet with Luke warm water and the other one should be  dry...........
Take the Colour catridge first turn it upside down and u will see a small copper plate on the  catridge from where the ink comes out.......
Place the wet paper towel using ur thumb on the Copper plate and press it a lit bit for 10  Seconds......
Now remove it and see whether u see any ink on the paper towel.......... U should see some ink on it now place the dry paper towel on the ink catridge in the same  way........
Now do the same procedure again.......... Do the same procedure twice on the Black Catridge................. Now take the dry paper towel and turn the direction of the cartridge so that u can see a  Copper plate on it with small boxes just clean that copper plate with the Dry Paper 
Towel..........
Know insert both the catridges inside the Printer... Good Luck

remove print head assembly. clean off.
print head not on cartridge. 

Put in a set of new color cartridges and then make sure in the printer settings it is set to Black & White printing only.

Hope this helps

Thanks for reading!

did zou refilled the cartridges?
Have you try another paper?

Tackler- I dont think I have a solution but I know that the cassette should stick out about 5cm i.e. the cover just fits on nicely. I found with mine sometimes it needed a firm (but not hard) push in as obviously some sensor was not being tripped and it would just not pick up the paper in the tray. Have you tried using the top down feed? At least if that works you can print (and you can stack up a couple of pages).

Take the Caridge out and stand on damp tissue overnight -then see what happens come back and tell us
