Hahaha. Oh Dan-you're so pithy. Hahaha. No, seriously. I wouldn't know the answer except to advise you to visit the Canon website/FAQs. I'm just venturing a guess that they should be able to help you because they made the machine. Keep smiling and keep making people laugh. Thanks for tonight's giggle.

His bst bt would be to contact Cannon Siupport if he is really inetrested in keeping the fax machine, but his cost for support help may not make it worth it, since he bought the fax at a garage sale, still it is his call

First, check the info on the unit itself and the plug. If it is a standard U.S. plug, then you will need to contact Canon about the error message. If the plug is round, it is a 220 plug which is for European connections and won't work here. Contact Canon and maybe they can get you a U.S. plug. Europe uses the 220 system. We do not use it here. This printer is not wireless! Don't know where that idea came from, but it's incorrect. European plugs have round protrusions,while U.S. plugs have flat blade protrusions.

I am basically doing the same. it has problems regardless of the way the phone is connectedi did see a review (I think on amazon) that someone returned the printer and the new one was working properly 9suggests new firmware). Although I have yet to do it Canon (in my area (australia) can phone your fax to check the settings on the fax. It is possible that they may also be able to update settings.If I get around getting it sorted out I will set up phone lines to go through the fax.

If you have a mac, it cannot send a fax from your computer. You need to print it out first and then send it. A call to canon support confirmed this today. I have an MX330 and was hoping the newer model MX 340 had this upgrade but no, they are sorry mac users.

There is a support number to call that came with the printer. When I received mine I got an immediate error trying to set it up, I called and they said it could not be repaired and I had to return.

I had that happen also. On mine it was the printer. Go to "Devices and Printers" and check the default printer or fax. Sometimes there is a converter and you have to switch to using it for QB then go back to the old device for other work.

The error is something I faced and wrote in my review of how to fix it. The problem is caused by miscontact with the reset board and the printer, which is mainly due to the plastic dots holding the board in place. If you feel the dots and notice one or more protruding, then just take a small file, or use your finger to scrape off the protruded plastic. After that, all should work fine.

I don't know what to tell you, mine fired right up and went to work. Maybe a test print or unplug the machine? Sorry!

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

I wiped my cartridges' 'chip' before installation. I also received a message from the manufacturer that it was not a 'genuine' replacement on my computer screen. If I continue with installation it will null and void the printer warranty. I continued, and clicked ok. After the nasty-gram it worked fine. I also unplugged my printer for about a minute and plugged it back in. Have you contacted Inktonerman? They may have some suggestions. I hope this helps, it's so frustrating.

I don't know how. I called Cannon. I was told I needed a knew printer, that the printer head had burned out. Read others on line how they resolve this issue with theirs. You might get luck. Good luck!

Well, I took out the Color Ink and the printer just sits with an error message. A color ink cartridge must be in place. The only thing I can suggest is to let the color cartridge run out of ink, then choose a "faxable print" option in the program if it's available. You can try the greyscale option, but I don't know if the greys use the black (lighter) or if they use the color ink. If you already own this printer, play around with these options. If you HAVEN'T already bought this, try a different printer. If you do A LOT of printing, you may want to consider a LASER printer. The BLACK ONLY ones have become quite affordable and the toner roll lasts a very long time.

I am sorry you are having this problem. They are very handy little machines; the one I had before this one lasted almost 15 years. It sounds to me as though your machine is broken. As long as you are pressing the button marked Print, you seem to be doing everything correctly. You need to return the machine. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Try updating the firmware. If that doesn't work, you may be looking at a new printer. I replaced mine with the 545 and it's the best printer I've ever owned, but there's an even newer model out now. Cost is under a hundred bucks shipped from Amazon. Be sure to double check which cartridges it takes.

I have the j4680 printer & fax , I can not install any of the ink cartriges , I tried to replace the color cartrage an would not go in so I removed the black to see if I was doing anything wrong . Now I can not get any one of them in , could the carrage be broken?

Not much help for your particular problem but seriously consider dumping the printer. I had one and found endless problems with it. It is undoubtedly the worst printer I have ever purchased. Eventually I replaced it. Sorry about your problem but I can only advise based on my experience.

I purchased this printer today. I'm using it with a Mac and wireless networking. Everything works fine except the Scanning Software. When I try to start the software it says "Epson Scan cannot be started..." I can't even open the software let alone get it to work. I've deleted and reloaded the software from scratch on two occasions without luck. I also downloaded the software from Epson for Snow Leopard and installed that, along with the latest driver from Apple. Still no luck.Can anyone offer some advice?
