This printer has a separate cartridge for black and colour. When you print pictures, the printer uses all three colours mixed together to make black and does not use the black cartridge. Your black cartridge may be empty or the printhead may just be dried out. Try a head-clean from the maintenance menu and then print a nozzle test. If still no result then try replacing the black cartridge with a new one which has a new printhead as part of the cartridge.
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles. If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive. It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head.
Click on Printer & Faxes in the Control panel.
Right click on your printer icon.
On the drop down menu click on properties.
You will see many Tabs relating to your Printer.
One of them will be Maintenance Tab
Click on it and on the page which opens do the needful.
A Canon MP145 E4 Error Code means that your Printer didn't detect the Ink Cartrigde. It sometimes happen when you're using a non-original cartridge or infusing it.

And then displaying some messages on your Computer Screen, indicating that your ink cartridge have to be replaced because it's EMPTY.
Below are the manual way to correct this problem :
1. Turn On Your Printer.
2. Wait Till The Printer Led Screen Show The Error Code ( E4).
3. Then Press and Hold Black & Color Button for about 5 - 10 seconds.
Hope that your problem is solved.Dont forget to give a positive feedback after pressing the accept button.
It WOULDNT work without a colour cartridge inserted. It MAY just work with an EMPTY colour cartdridge (the only printing black) but it just would not work without a colour cartridge in there
some printers can detect that the cartridges are refilled based ona barcode or scanning of the cartridges. Does this Cannon have ink tanks or ink cartridges. If it has intakes then the print head needs to be cleaned wth rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. If they are cartridges then it would be good just to buy the original cartidges. As far as the scanning goes this can be a direct connection to the printer going through maintenance. If it continues to not scan then you may need to uninstall the scanner. see if the scanner shows up in your scanners area. if not then it will need to be re-installed.
