If it's printing gibberish, you need to restart both printer and computer and then make sure you clear the printer cue in the computer.

It wont stop printing even when we press cancel

In most cases the printer driver software can have errors while being in use or is shut down. So to reset remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and RUN, then connect the Printer to be detected as a new hardware as it will be installed. Now check the printer properties to see the ink levels.

How to repaire canon MP 510 error, wen turn printer on in the lcd diplay get message : error service required 5800

Welcome to Fixya.

Please try the following steps to resolve this problem - this same procedure worked for my colleague :
  • Power off printer
  • Hold down STOP/RESET button then Press and Hold down Power button
  • Keep Power button down and Release STOP/RESET button
  • Push STOP/RESET button twice
  • let go of power button
  • Wait 20-30 seconds - my display shows "canon Idle"
  • Then Push STOP/RESET button four times
  • Push Power button twice
  • Power off (shut printer down)
  • Wait for at least 5 seconds and power it back on
This should do the trick and will get you printing again in no time.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Prints multiple copies of job and will not shut off or stop printing

Unplug the power cord from the printer. Hold down the red "X" button. Plug the power cord back in while holding down this button. Release the button. Should see flashing red and green lights. Unplug the power cord again. Replug. Should be reset.

Was at a 33 page long site (!) when I must have inadevertently pushed a command to make my printer print these 33 pages. Cannot get rid of that command nor get my printer to stop even when I've shut down...

There is an icon in the lower right corner of your screen. It looks like a printer. Double click on that icon then right click on the print job then click no cancel. It should hang there are refuse to disappear. what you do after this is to turn off your printer then turn it back on then restart your computer. It should be gone after that.
