You don't give any information other than your printer died. How long have you had it? Was it new or refurbished? Were you having any problems with it prior to it dying? How often do you use it? Eventually, the printer is going to die. I've had mine for 3-4 years. Mine still works as good as when I bought it. Even though I have WiFi at home, I hook my printer to my laptop when I need to print.

I wish I could help, but the question is a lot like: "My cat died. What happened" I''ve nothing to go on. Mine has been running like a little trooper since I got it almost two years ago.

Hi Linda-The 495 is definitely a low-end printer, so depending on how many years you've had it, and how heavily you used it, it may have just reached it's life expectancy. Mine is still operational after three years, but for the last year it's really gotten heavy use. The ink is starting to leak and smear and the WiFi connection keeps kicking in and out. But, I just bought a replacement - an MX720 series which seems good so far. I've also had excellent service from my other Canon printer - an MX870. I like these better because of automatic two-sided copying. In general, Canon PIXMA printers have served me well, and as always you get what you pay for. Maybe time for you to upgrade.

Did you drop the camera? Probably you have a mechanical problem , should be easy to fix

I had one of those years ago. It worked great...until it didn't. It developed a thick black line that ran down the BACK of nearly every page printed. I cleaned the bottom plate, the print head and anything else I could reach without disassembling it. (multiple times) I read dozens of Internet blogs trying to find a fix. I finally threw in the towel, bought a new printer and dropped the MP500 off to be recycled.

Well, I downloaded a new driver, and that solved the 6c10 error message -- for a week or so. And now it's back again. And now my older Canon pixma 3000 has a similar error message. So I have two Canon printers taking up space. Does anyone make a decent, reliable printer? Canon has been absolutely of no help.

It's dead!. I talked to Panasonic, they do not repair or replace. I ended up buying a newer version. Sorry...I was furious, but they really don't care. JG

Send it back ASAP As it in warranty as Error 99 is a general error some time due to a out of range setting in manual mode setting in the camera, bad lens and flash mounts plus moreone thing to remember digital cameras with auto lens are very complex thingThus more things to go wrong.Canon makes a ton of these, so some can be bad which is why we have warranty's

Same trouble I had with mine right out of the box... requires Canon service and likely replacement. The electronic lenses are very flimsy and the slightest bit of dirt will ruin them.

Hi, Please contact the seller via Amazon. I also had problems. I was in contact with the seller 2 or 3 times . They were super nice and walked me through all my problems. Also sent me new manual.My camera works super. I use it on WiFi and also broadcast on the internet in 720P. The noise your camera makes is not normal. Mind is very quite. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. Good Luck.

Mimi, What did Canon say about your battery problem? I am having the same issue with mine. I bought it in April 2008 and been having the issue ever since. I thought it was just because I was using rechargeable batteries, but tried them with regular ones and still have the same issue. Tried flipping the batteries (+ to -, same batteries) and it will work again for a few minutes before I need to change/flip the battereries again.

how did you try to format it? In camera or using your computer? If it is defective Komputerbay will easily replace it. Their customer response time is, in my opinion, excellent.

Sorry... Try taking out camera AA batteries and using fresh, new ones.If it doesn't work, get a new SDHC memory card of a well-known maker (Sandisk or similar).If nothing of the above works on restarting your camera, you'll have to send your camera to Canon Authorized Service shop... Sorry.

I had no problem aside from it taking quite a bit of time. You might want to call Canon and see if they can determine what the issue is.

Hi, thank you so much for the speedy reply! I have performed a reset on the camera, as well as removing both the battery pack and the watch battery, to no avail. I did think of trying an external flash unit, and am currently trying to borrow one from a friend who has a genuine Canon unit to see if this will work. I have also contacted a UK Canon-approved repairer to get a quote, so I should hopefully soon know how much I can expect to pay. Thanks again for your help in the matter. Kind Regards, Andy

Same here, I got my D50 nearly 3 years ago and also have been plagued by the sticky shutter problem starting after 1.5 years. I have been taking lots of photos (29500 shutter releases so far) and used the extended warranty. I'm also disappointed by this shutter and considering returning the camera again for repair.I envy the time where people would keep their film camera for 20+ years... (maybe they did not take that many photos :)

Did you try charging it?? Cause when I ordered mines for my sister, it didn't turn on either, then I went to go charge it, and it turned on. If it doesn't work that way, you can try resetting it, though like I said before, I have a MP610, that one is better, than this one, my sister has this one, I found that one more complicated than the one I have which is the MP610, hope I was of help..
