This is one of the rare cases where Measekite has valuable input.
Being the K-rad elite hacker d00d as he describes I often forget about
the fact that sometimes... sometimes... there are issues that are
covered well beyond the warranty. Who knows.
As far as telling what's wrong... I linked to the blink codes, support
wouldn't know anything more on that subject. Assuming endless
blinking, that's a ROM problem. Not that you should always assume the
blink codes are accurate, but that sugests the rom is fried, not
connected. Bad solder connection or a power surge, probally a power
surge. Loose wire is always possible.
But he's right, those filthy k-rad hacker d00ds like my self are the
least likely to consider calling technical support. It's worth a shot,
the worst they will do is tell you it's not covered.

Canon is actually typicaly pretty good, and the ip4000 is no lame duck.I wasn't able to get it into Service mode. Thanks for the advice,
though. Looks like a brand-new printer -- but I think I'm going to
avoid Canon.

Firstly how many times does it blink. If it's something like 7 timesMy Canon Pixma ip4000 printer: I haven't used it in months, and barely
used it all before then, but just 2 weeks after my warranty ran out it
has decided to stop working. When power is turned on, the printer head
refuses to snap-to the center; it behaves as if it's locked or a pulley
(rubber band?) isn't working. The power light flashes alternatively
orange and green (which, according to the manual indicates a possible
"repair shop" problem.)

:O):O) I never thought I'd see the day.
Measkekite offers the following useful advice
1. Kirkland Costco paper is cheap and pretty good
2. Call tech support - read the manual
3. Buying OEM is less trouble
4. Krylon uv-resistant clear acrylic spray or Aaron Bros spray to
water proof your prints.
All of these are true useful things to say, easy to miss in a flood of
450 messages per month.

ABOUT. I TOLD YOU THERE WAS A CHANCE.I called them right now. They're going to send me a replacement. I'm
surprised, because the warranty has expired by a couple of weeks.

But, as has been pointed out, some things should last longer than
guarantee time, such as cookers, televisions and three piece suites.
Your problem appears to be with the operating system of the printer
which are not replaceable by you and should last longer than the
consumable parts.
Great. did they say if it would be a 4000 or a 4200?I called them right now. They're going to send me a replacement. I'm

So it's complaining about either the sheet feeder or the logic board,
or a wire connection between the two units. I imagine sucking up
something into it would also result in this condition.
But canon shipped a replacement... cool. And given the nature of the
error it should be a new one, with new ink, and a new head. Bonus. I
wish mine would screwup that badly, but unfortunatly it's just too damn
reliable.
