Canon BubbleJet i70 clatters like a rattlesnake when turned on

Recently, I flew from Hawaii to Italy with my laptop and Canon i70, having removed the ink cartridges from the printer before the flight so they won't leak and make a mess during transit. Now when I turn it on, the plastic lip under the paper feed section clatters like a rattlesnake for a few seconds and then the printer's orange error light starts flashing. I get an error message on the laptop "error 5c00." Then the printer locks up. Can someone tell me if my printer had kicked the bucket, or could it be repaired? I stocked up on printer cartridges that I hate to waste them. I appreciate your advice.

Hi, didn't find anything in regards to the error code you mentioned. The flashing error light i did find something on though. The kind of error depends on how often the orange error light flashes (any # from 2 -10). You can read up on it in the user manual. Tom

I70 Canon photo printer will not print after changing print cartridge.

Check the black cartridge and make sure the orange or yellow tape at the rear end is not still attached. If it covers the small hole on the top of the cartridge, the printer won't print black text.

I have a canon i70, have installed new ink resevoirs, both color and black. It performs well for the test but when I go to print a document it simply runs two pages without printing anything. The printing...

Ok, that must be a bad communication board in the printer. It sounds bad, but it is best you get a new one unless you know someone who may fix it/swap it for u. Good luck.

Canon bubblejet printer i70...Cannot get the ink cartridge mechanism to come out into the open

There are probably flashing lights which tell you the problem, it flashes orange and green lights with a longer green flash and starts over again. There is probably a problem with the purge assembly which won't release the printhead lock. Sounds like a shop repair.

My Canon i70 is putting out faded lines, all except for the first lines of each page. I tried refilling both color and black and white inks, nothing works. Is it the head? Can I clean the head myself?

Usually a head cleaning sequence in your software for the printer- try that
