Does the printer do a self-test without any connection to the M-100?
If you Google Canon BJ-10e manual you'll find
several sources for manual -- at least one of
which should be a FREE download. 'Surprising it's still listed!
Let us know how you do.
One of the guys who has a working Canon might
also be able to give you his DIP switch settings

Hello this is my first posst, though I follow
with interest. Greetings and Happy New Year
2016 to my fellow Model 100 enthusiasts worldwide!
I recently purchased a Canon BJ-10e inkjet
printer to use with my M100, but after a great
deal of experimentation, I havenât been able
to get the printer to work. (Error light is
pretty much perpetually on. Essentially does
nothing that the manual suggests the printer
should do, including self-tests.)Â This is
confusing, since the BJ-10 seems like one of the
older but still ârelativelyâ modern printers
that folks on the list have called out as being
well-suited to the M100. Iâm using an
original Radio Shack printer cable for the M100,
so I think I can rule out a connecting cable
error. I even bought a replacement
rechargeable battery for the printer, thinking
that might be the issue, to no avail. Iâm
hoping someone with experience configuring this
printer can help me out. Do the printerâs
DIP switches need to be set in any particular
manner? Is there some other âtrickâ or
even just a common failure mode? Iâm
beginning to think that I was sold a piece of
junk with a fried logic board. I want to
exhaust options before throwing the printer away in frustration.
Best wishes and thanks,
