please help me find a solution on how to reset my printer MP145. every time i print it e8

hi this is to tell u all that when ur printer starts showing low ink or when it is below normal then get ur inks refilled.
the error e 15 is shown by the computer becoz it is showing the cardriges as empty and the computer has locked ur cartriges theirfore u cannot use it again and u have to buy a new one.even if u get it refilled it won't work....

when it is showing low ink get them refilled if u continue using them without refiling then the ink wil reduce and it will detect and finally when the cartridge is empty it will show u empty and lock it....so keep refilling and use itagain and again......it it is a tactic used by canon so that you need to buy cartridge from them......buy black ink from market it hadly comes for more than a 100Rs and refill it urself through injection.

dear all
we want to know the meaning consist of the botton maintenance A j d,H,Y,P ,UL,b for printer MP 145.
