how about the P03 error . . how to fix it?

GbSb said...

It should categorized as #15 or other cases of error.

Try to do basic troubleshooting, restart your printer and PC,unplugged and reconnect cables and if still unresolved, you can bring it to authorized service center for repair.

GbSb said...

How old is your printer? Since when it is CISS converted?

If your PC USB port is working and cable is good (you can try another cable from your friends MP287),

I think one last thing we can do is re install the printer software.

If still not working, please send it for repair.

Unknown said...

my printer is 2 days old since i buy it. and that day also i convert it into CISS. and also that day my printer is working. but when i install this to my computer. this what it goes.. whew.. and i brought this to far from my home. it takes 2-3 hours. and i dont have a car.

GbSb said...

Working from other computer and not working from your PC or were talking of the same PC here?

What is your PC OS? Below are the list of OS for MP287:

Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista/Vista SP2/SP3, Windows 7; Macintosh OS X 10.4.11 - 10.6

Also, I know CISS converted printer have warranty. You can send it to them for troubleshooting.

Unknown said...

same pc sir. im using windows 7 professional

Unknown said...

sir i have good news and bad for me. the printer was already on my computer, it is on device and printers, but when i install the exe. of canon that still my problem.

GbSb said...

You could uninstall MP287 OS first then try re installing or try to install it on another partition of you PC.

Are you the one who install CISS?

We are trying to solve if its printer problem (CISS) or your PC.

sir kakauwi lang ng mp287 ko from the shop where i bought it kasi "paper jammed" na nman ang error nya, which is the same error ng dalhin ko xa sa center 3 days ago.
im 19kms away from the city,too much magastos sa fare,
could you please help me fix this out na hindi na dadalhin pa sa center?
thank you po.

GbSb said...

Hi,

1.Anu po sabi ng nung pinagbilhan niyo or service center?

2.Tama po ba ang papel at maayos naman po ang paglalagay?

3. May warranty pa po ba ang printer mo?

4. Original cartridge po ang gamit mo or CISS?

Iniisip ko kasi na baka defective talaga ang nabili mo kasi bihira mag paper jam ang MP287 ko using original cartridge.

You can try a new cartridge, if still not working, possibly you have a problem with your printer, send it to service center for warranty repair.

I am getting E03 error and guess what there is no paper jammed. This error is appearing after the error E05 which was there due to refilled cartridge. I cleaned the nodes and again inserted the cartridge and there was no error but as I tried to print, the command was failed it took the paper in but didn't print at all but I could easily pull out the paper. Then onwards I am getting this E03 error continuously without any actual paper jam. Any solution ??

GbSb said...

The durability of Canon cartridge converted to CISS is up to 3-5 refills, so you have to replace it with a new one. Does the issue occurs on the new/original ink cartridge?
