My Canon Pixma MP280 Printer won’t turn alarm light and E03 message off (E03 is a paper jam, but there is nothing jamming the feed). Scanning won’t work either So far, I have:

  • turned printer off and on
  • restarted computer and printer
  • turned off printer, moved print heads to the left, turned on
  • re-installed the printer software
  • used this detailed suggestion from Jayeff on Jan 10:
  1. Turn off the printer .
  2. Press the Stop button for 2 second and hold it.
  3. Press the On button, hold it and release the Stop button.
  4. Press Stop button 5 times then release together, with the On button.
  5. LCD display will blank and now resetting.
  6. Computer will detect new hardware just ignore it.
  7. Turn off the printer then turn it On.
  8. Remove the cartridges and clean the heads after powering it back on but after step 6, the orange error light kept blinking with no error code showing. So I proceeded to step 7, and it went back to the original orange light with E03 error message. Any ideas? is a Canon Pixma MP280 just not fixable?

I think there is a problem with the sensor of the rollers ( don’t know the exact word in english..) Try these steps : http://reparatupcconsadesystem.blogspot…. kind regards, Kevin

These steps worked beautifully!

Alright, a lot has been said about Printer Paper jam and lot of people Get to have this issue every once in while however i Never understood how the paper jam occurs to Printers So Often …Is it because they Get Old & Start malfunctioning. Anyways it has been reported Heavily that Printer has No Paper jam & There is error So There could be 2 Reasons Behind this - Either you Don’t See Paper Jam Or There is Foreign Object In Paper Feed Line i really Don’t See Scope for any software Issue In this Issue But Lets try some of the steps that may help you fix the Problem. unplug the Printer From power Supply & wait for 3-4 Minutes
