Hello Carmeray,

There is usually (Not always) an error number with the message to assist with locating, and fixing, the issue.

The following link provides some steps to perform torwards fixing your printer's issue.

Canon Pixma 894 Error Messages with Possible Solutions

Once there scroll down to the error related to your issue located at the lower half of the page (Almost to the end) and you will see the subheading titled:

****Printer error has occurred. Turn off power then back on again. If problem persists, see the manual

This is where you should begin troubleshooting from for a possible solution. However, if you can not clear the error you may need to have the device serviced or possibly purchase another if not under warranty.

Please note: I highly recommend you completely read through the possible reasons/solution before beginning to perform these steps.

Hope this helps


Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.

You probably need to reset the printer. To do so, open and close the printer lid. If that doesn't clear it, open lid, remove ink cartridge and reinstall cartridge, then close lid.
If it still doesn't work, try unplugging the printer, waiting 10 seconds and then plug it back in.
You probably also need to clear the print queue.
