Usually means an undetermined error. Check inside for foreign objects, scraps of paper crammed into the inside ends, a faulty cartridge (flashing diode), grease on the plastic strip that runs through the back of the printhead, something in the paper feed path.

SOURCE: HI my canon pixma MX870

Try removing the printhead and then turn off the printer. Turn back on and wait for the prompt to install the printhead and cartridges.
I had the same error code and this worked for me.

Canon Pixma 7240, both power and resume lights blinks alternatively in 21 times. How do I fix it?

Generic

Error C000 has also been known to be caused by poorly seated or unseated ink tanks. Another method that can be used to try and fix Error C000 is to open the printer door and make sure that all of the printer's ink tanks are properly seated.

Fix Error Code 6000 and C000 on Canon printer

When there is an error code 6000 or C000 on a Canon printer, do not rush to go through the reset or any magic "press button" things. Even if you clear the message, the problem won't go away and the message will reappear. The message 6000 and C000 refer to an obstruction in the printer. Usually something on the way of the carriage unit. It can be a dirty timing strip which needs a cleaning, but most of the times it will just be a pieced of a ripped paper or any other object inside the printer. The tricky part is that it will usually be at one or the other end of the printer. Take yuur flashlight or flashlight app on your phone and shine some light inside your printer. I almost guarantee you that you will find something!
This will apply to all Canon pixma Inkjet printers!
Some are MX922, MX925, MX927, MX928, MG5320, MG5220, MX452, MX870, MX712, MX722, MX892, MX882, MX860, MP620, MP620B, MP630, MP640, MP600, MP800, MP610, MP810, MX950, MG5420, IP7220, IP3000, IP4000, IP4200, IP4300, MX830, MP830, MX452, MX472, MX432, MX452, IP2920, MG5220, MG5120, and many other models.

Error code C000 comes up after every print, and only one page can be printed per command. To get the one print per command I have to unplug the printer after each print.
