My cannon mp160 will not print or scan, it keeps on blinking E 5, how will i be able to print anything? Cuz i tried to uninstall the printer and then reinstall it again…but it still doesn’t work..is there a certain guide i could find on the internet? or could someone please help me out .. cuz i need to scan and print these pictures!! please..?

Best Answer: restart computer with printer off.

go to computer manufacturer web site and download and install latest software/driver for your computer operating system.

E5-5 The ink cartridges are not installed or a non-supported ink cartridge is installed or the ink cartridges are not installed properly.

if after download and installation of latest software/driver the printer still displays error, check solution provided at
