If your Canon printer suddenly stopped printing and started blinking an alternating green and orange light, you are likely facing a error. Canon printers use built-in counters to track the amount of ink discarded during printhead cleanings. Once this counter hits a specific limit, the printer locks down with error codes like 5B00 or 1700 to prevent ink from leaking out.
