CANON BJC-4550 printer problem

[Adi]

Hi, experts!
Yesterday I take my printer CANON BJC-4550 from its place to clean it of
dust and other dirth.
After cleaning I put it back, connect it on PC, but it no more work. Only I
hear 5 fast error sound signal.
In instructions its put me for reset, but this not help.
Is any solution before I send printer to servis.
I thank for any advice to everybody!

I forget to tell that printer, when is not connected to computer (stand
alone) give same error sounds.
Error is inside of printer.

If printer is not connected with cable to computer its give same error sound
5x (pi,pi,pi,pi,pi).
I think that error is on printer.

In this case it's always a good thing to have the printer manual handy....
or visit the Canon website and use their troubleshooting guide.....

In this case, both the Canon website and various other printer sites refer
to 5 x beeps as the Waste Tank being full..... You can either take the
printer to a Canon Service Center and they will change it... and of course
charge you for their service, or replace the printer. It is not something I
would recommend you doing yourself.

It's a very old and long discontinued printer.... released in about 1998. I
think it's more economical that you think about something a little newer.
