Error code ##357, not able to clear error
Anonymous Jan 17, 2009

I just got error msg.#357 this afternoon when I tried to print. The machine is making a terrible rumbling racket when I press print or even copy. It sounds like something is jammed, but I can't find anything as hard as I look. I tried moving the ink cartridges to the far left and what I saw was a great deal of black ink on the left side in and around what I surmise is the purge plates. My husband tried removing the ink with cotton swabs, but so far nothing is working. I will try the alcohol next. Any other suggestions as to what might fix this?

Message on printer "Waste Ink near full"............. Where is the waste ink tank?

Right under the resting place of the cassettes. However just emptying will not fix it you need to find the reset software for your model
It covers the whole of the bottom. Remove it carefully noting how it fitted. Make a solution of teaspoon of bleach to 1 cup water dunk in a few times to remove ink. Pat dry and finish carefully with a hair dryer on medium. Then replace and follow these instructions

Canon MP780 Waste Ink FULL Reset (Should work with MP700/730/750)
This reset should be used once waste ink counter reaches full and lock-out occurs.
- To select something... Use the '-' and '+' buttons and then the "OK" button.
- To go back... Use the "Stop/Reset" button
- To reset... Use the "On/Off" button (only after you've gone back as far as possible it seems)

Service menu: Menu -> Scan -> Copy -> Scan (one at a time in sequence)
Select "TEST MODE"
Select "[8] ETC.."
Select "[4] EEPROM CLEAR"
Select "[1] INK COUNT"
Press the [OK] button.
Press the [Stop/Reset] button (Exits Service Mode)
press the [ON/OFF] button (which resets the printer)

Reboot and enjoy

Waste ink error message where is the waste ink?

The waste ink is in a pad that covers the whole bottom of the printer, underneath the print engine. You need a shop to remove all covers and the printer and replace the pads. Once changed they have diagnostic access to reset the ink counter. You can find instructions to reset the counter but soon ink will overflow and ruin the printer and possibly furniture.

Waste Ink near full shows on screen. Won't print!

Hi ...

Cannon Pixma MP780 have an absorber and this error is related to this absorber.

This printer has an ink absorber that takes in ink during the printing and print head cleaning processes. The cleaning process is necessary in order to keep the print head nozzles from becoming clogged. Over the life of the printer, the amount of ink that the ink absorber has absorbed is calculated by the printer. Eventually, after substantial use, the printer will enter an error condition when the ink absorber is nearly full. At this point, printing is still possible. Press the <Stop/Reset> button to cancel the error. You will still be able to print for a short period. To protect the printer from damage, you will not be able to print at all once the ink absorber is full.
Canon recommends having the printer serviced before the absorber becomes full. Replacing the ink absorber is a complicated and potentially messy procedure. Even if the ink absorber is successfully changed, the ink absorber counter must be reset.

I would suggest that you take your printer to the nearest cannon service centre and get it repaired.

Don't forget to vote if this helps ... Cheers :)

Error 6800

Error code 357 has to do with the print head & waste tank.

You can try and fix it yourself by performing the following:

-Turn off the printer.
-Open the top & both doors.
-Manually slide the ink cartridge carrier to the left.
-When you look back where the ink parks you will see a rectangular white assembly with 1 long & 2 short plastic tabs standing vertically.
-clean these carefully with a cotton swab & rubbing alcohol. They don't have to be perfect.
-NOW HERE IS THE HARD PART. Carefully reach around to the back of this assembly & move it forward. It should slide front to back easily. If it doesn't it's probably stuck with some dried ink.
Once this is free, slide the ink tray back, close evedrything up & start your printer.
The problem should disappear
