Canon i250 flashing orange / green light

The orange light flashes 5 times indicates that the printhead is not there. Obviously it is (I hope). Turn the power off and remove and refit the head. If it still does not work then the head is most probably faulty and requires replacing.

Good luck.

Hi I have a ip100 portable printer and both green and orange lights flash. Green flashes twice and the orange light flash at what seems to be a random disorder.
