Printer is in use or an error has occured. check status. CANON Mp258 error code 2,140,2

SOURCE: Canon PIXMA mp240 All-in-one InkJet Printer. Error code: 2,140,2

I had exactly the same problem (error Code:2,140,2) in Canon PIXMA MP250, and it was solved when I replaced both ink cartridges which were almost empty (almost without ink). I know an scanner problem is not supposed to be in relation with ink or printer problems, but that's the way I've fixed it. Good luck!
