I had a case just like yours where the printer wasn't in use for some months because there was a second, better printer to use instead. So when the abandoned one was to be used again, it was no longer salvageable. And I tried cleaning it and maintaining it doing everything in the book to make it work again but no matter what I did, it ended up in the garbage bin after all my wasted time and effort. I'm sorry. I wish I had better news for you but I'm speaking from experience. Yours might be a write-off too in which case you are better off to just buy a better one.

this indicates a the print head is not installed correctly or is faulty.

if the green and orange is alternating 5 times then it is caused by the sheet feeder.

According to the manual found here:

7 orange lights represents a bad print head, and the printer will need serviced or replacement. Since printers are so cheap lately, I would just go shopping. Hope this helps! Thanks!

According to Canon 7 orange flashes indicates a print head fault. Solution they recommend is to take it to one of their service agents. Problem is that replacement print heads are not cheap and it is usually more economical to replace the printer. You could try taking the print head to a cartridge refiller and have it professionally cleaned (cost you nothing or next to nothing) and see if that solves the problem.

What you have is a dried up color cartridge. You can try to use the <clean print heads> in the diagnostic tools section of you priner software. (usually, just try to print something & the window will appear) Sometimes you have to clean heads, then print test page like 2 or 3 times before it clears up. If that doesn't correct it, don't worry. Have your color cartridge filled (staples, office depot, & other stores do it cheap) - or - replace it with a new cartridge. You may have to run the clean print heads program after installing a new cartridge, but this will definitely fix your problem.

Perform these steps and reset the EEPROM:

Service Mode

2) While holding down the power button, release the resume button and press the resume button twice in succession. Now release the power button. The

3) Select one of the following service mode functions by pressing the resume button the specified number of times.
Press Resume Indicator Functions

1 time Orange Service test print
2 times Green EEPROM information print
3 times Orange EEPROM initialization

7 times Green CD-R test print
8 times Orange CD-R print position correction (horizontal)
9 times Green CD-R print position correction (vertical)
4) Execute the function you have selected (except for model setting) by pressing the power button. The printer will switch itself off after performing the function.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

It indicate that your print head may defective probably cause by electrical connection, u can try to unplug the print head and clean the electrical contact part with dry paper and install it back. Make sure the contact part is fix into the holder completely.

Remove and re-seat the print head. If need be the print head can be cleaned with hot water. YMMV but I've submerged my i850 print head for minutes at a time. Dry it off, blow it out, and it goes right back to work. Common problem if you're using non-Canon inks.
