Canon Pixma MP150 Error 22 2,250 2250 5100

When you try to print or scan you receive a message that says "error 22" with alarm flashing on the machine, and pop up boxes that say things like... Quote: "Service Error 5100"

"Error 1500"

"An Error has occurred. Turn the device off and then back on. The Scanner driver will be closed" Code 2,250,0"

"Cannot scan for these reasons:
- The original may not be set correctly
- The protective sheet may be put in place
- The lamp might not be warmed up
Scanner driver will be closed" Code 2,178,0"

Looking around on the internet for the solution you will find a bunch of people who know dick saying,
Quote: - "clean the gears thoroughly"
- "Clean the connections of the ink cartridge and the cartridge itself"
- "Up-date the drivers"
- "Reset to the default settings"
- "Switch the usb port it's connected into

ANSWER

Well, if none of that works, which it probably wont, I wouldnt even bother trying any of it. you have had the same problem as me. And this is my technical way of explaining what this problem is and why it is doing this, and I hope you understand my in depth guide to answer this malfunctioning problem.

Simply, your printer/scanner is fucked, buy a new one.

Hopefully this will find it's way into a search engine for anyone looking for an answer to this.

Haha...that sure saves a lot of time and effort.

But yeah, a lot of the so-called tech help is just bullshit.
