Question - Canon Pixma ip3000 -5 orange flashes. How to fix it,please?

[Jemma]

My Canon Pixma ip3000 gives 5 orange flashes immediately after turning it on. It is not connected to PC.

Did my own search for the cause of the problem but only info found was that 5 orange flashes mean problem with cartridge.

No info which cartridge or how to fix the problem

Can someone give me some detailed guidance how exactly to eliminate these 5 orange flashes, please?

Thanks in advance!

When Canon says "cartridge" they mean print head. Your best bet is to try to get a new free one from Canon under their Customer Loyalty Program. A bad print head can damage the printer so there is no guarantee that a new one will fix the problem.
