Ive just turned on my Canon pixma mp250 printer and have an Error, the screen is flashing E 0 3??? have tried resetting but that hasn't had any affect.

i dont think you where trying the right solutions. the mp250 catridge 511 can not be reset as far as i know. what you can do to get it to print is to long press the reset button. this disables the ink level check function and you can work. the procedure you stated is usually for resetting the ink absorber, not catridges.

Good Luck!
