I bought a canon 1p 1600 photo printer and it has never worked. The power light keeps blinking green and the cartridges are always on the right side of the printer (opposite the loading area). When I try to print I get an error message that the cartridges are not loaded properly and that they are in the loading area. As I said, they are not in the loading area and in fact I have to turn off the printer and manually move the cartridges from the very right part to the left where the loading area is to load the cartridges. I have looked on the website regarding how to load the cartridges and they snap in perfectly. As soon as I turn the printer back on the cartridges again move the right of the printer. Anyone have any insight? I would really appreciate it!

I have similar problem. I found this solution that may help you. My problem insists tho.
>>> 5 flashes indicates a faulty printhead or possibly a problem with the p/head contacts. Try removing the head which is easier if you take the cartridges out first(no tools required) and re-seat it having checked the contacts for dirt.
If that doesn't work it may be that the waste ink tank is full. Try this ... Canon S9000, S300, S400, i550, i560, i850, i860, i865, i9100, i9950, PIXMA iP3000 above, 1. Turn off printer 2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button. 3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go. 4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go. 5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking. 6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times. 7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not, press the Power button once more. 8. Your printer should respond as normal.
