Hello. I have a Canon PIXMA MP140 printer. I connected the printer to a new computer, the drivers are installed, but three orange dots keep blinking (one beside the letter B, the second beside the letter C, and the third beside the warning sign) and on the display, it alternates between E and 4. What is the issue? I can't do anything, I can't scan anything. Please help. Thank you in advance.
