This is not my printer.

To the best of my knowledge printing, scanning or copying was working until user left it too long without use and print heads needed cleaning.

I carefully cleaned print heads manually as described in a YouTube video.

Afrer refitting the printer head and the white boxes that move ink to the printer head, I attempted to use Maintenace/head Cleaning. Following the instructions on screen when I get to last key press (bottom right diamond button) does nothing other than the screen showing to press diamond button again.

After a few seconds the screen changes to “Scanner error 100016 - see documentation“ — see video here on Google Photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/GcCCDsRYyKigkETu5

The same error occurs with every function including printing, scanning or copying.

No surprise there is nothing in the printer manual about error 100016.

Any suggestions?

If I don’t get any suggestions I might do a printer reset and trust setting Up for mac is straightforward.

thanks ColinK
