Hi

Do you need to reset the counter in MP150?

Anyways remember that you need to repalce the absorbers also later. Follow the below procedure and you can start using the printer again.

PROCEDURE I. Enter Service Mode:

• Plug in power cable
• Hold down STOP/RESET button
• Hold down POWER button
• Release STOP/RESET
• Press STOP/RESET twice in a row

II.Execute Waste Ink Counter Reset Operation:

• Press STOP/RESET button 4 times (Indicator lamp will blink alternately Orange/Green each time the button is pressed)
• Turn off the printer by pressing POWER button (wait until the printer is completely OFF)

When you turn on the printer,waste ink absorber full error is cleared and the printer work normally.

To reset your Canon IP1000 just simply pull out power cord then press-hold power button, while holding power button insert back power cord. You will notice that the power button indicator lights up upon inserting power cord. then you may release power button and start printer. That will solve your "The waste ink absorber is full" message.

Downside is: you may have to do this frequently if your printer looses power. You will understand what i mean.

you need to replace the absorber waste ink pad and service the printer

Dear sir your problem is or E8 mean

follow this step

This is what the manual says: Ink used for cleaning is absorbed in a waste ink absorber placed in the machine. Press [OK] to cancel the error so that you can continue printing. Once the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be done until the waste ink absorber is replaced.
Canon recommends to contact a Canon service representative as soon as possible.

you have to reset the waste ink counter of the printer, for this download the software like IP tools, then reset it,
