I had same problem of wrong cartridge error on canon multipass 700. I read some of this site's remedies and tried them. First I realigned printer head , then I removed cartridges and cleaned the place where the cartridge sits at bottom with 1 alcohol soaked q-tip ( 1 for each color) and reinserted the cartridges again. Left the printer off for a few days. When I turned on printer , It warmed up and the wrong cartridge message was gone and I was able to print again. Wow! Thanks again for all your help.

The Canon i850 uses cartridges of type BCI-3. according to Canon, the color cartridges are compatible to:
BJC-3000 Series, BJC 6000, i450, i550, i850 Series, MultiPASS F30, F50, F60, F80, MP 700 and MP 730, S400, S450, S500, S520, S530D, S600, S630, S630 Network and S750.
The black one will work in a few more models.

remove all cartridges leaving printhead intact.
close cover, turn off
turn on, let power up, error message should be gone.
open cover, reinstall cartridges
if you cleaned your print head like I did you'll probly
eventually end up getting a new one anyway, due to the color variations
but I can at least print text.

From your start menu, go to printers and faxes area. When this opens do you see your printer listed? Is it greyed out at all or maybe listed as offline? How are you connected tot he computer? Network, USB, or parallel port connection? If you see your printer listed and it has no other duplicate listings, right click the printer and go to properties, then choose the Ports tab. Verify here that the port selected witha check mark corresponds with your connection method. Example: If you are connected through USB, your selected port should say USB. Sometimes DOT4 ports will work for USB connections too. If you see this option, you can select it and hit apply to try it out. Try to print a test page after each applied change. Also, make sure that print jobs haven't built up in your queue by double-clicking your printer icon. If there is a queue of failed print jobs, select them and cancel. This might take a moment to complete. If your printer icon is greyed out, right-click it and un-choose the work-offline option and try it.

Windows Vista drivers are available here. Be sure and download/install both the driver and the MP Toolbox (listed under Software). If you currently have other drivers installed, be sure and remove them completely before trying to install the new drivers.

You may have to install updated drivers from Canon:

The last time I did this they were for Windows XP SP2. Also, XP is now on SP3 and there have been many security patches lately.
Sometimes "MP Service" does not start, so you have to manually start it by going to ControlPanel, then AdministrativeTools, then Services, then MP Service. However, you seem to have done that.

I have canon PIXMA ip3000. After power cut at night printer doen not print. I re installed the drivers but no result. When try to print message appears printer is offline. POwer button is flashing shorthly green after orange lights. Error code 5100.

Please advice what can I do urgently.

When trying to print color documents or photos using our Canon MultiPASS 700, the photo or document will have stripes all the way through it. It has also developed a problem of having fine lines that do not print when we are printing a black and white document.
