Cannot connect power cord

When we moved, the power cord was removed from the Pixma MP150 and we have tried to reconnect it. It appears to be like putting a square peg in a round hole. Is there a trick to it?

No, no trick. Are you sure you have the right power cord? Make sure your looking in the right place on the printer.

I have problem in my canon MP150 printer that the display is blinking digit 5 and E so wat the problem tell me

E5 - The ink cartridges are not installed or a non-supported ink cartridge is installed, or the ink cartridges are not installed properly.

Here is the first fix for this error:

Disconnect the printer's power cord.
Press and hold the power button while reconnecting the power cord.
While still holding down the power button, press the reset button twice (red circle with a triangle).
Release the power button. The printer takes about 10 seconds to show the number 0.
Press + to change the value from 0 to 1.
When this value is 1, press color button; this will light up two leds. One is for plain paper and the other for photo paper. At this point, feed the printer with paper.
Press the power button twice and the printer will print a test page (if this page doesn't print by itself, press the "color" button once and the test page will print).
When you print this sheet the value in the display returns to zero.
Open the printer cover and remove the cartridges. With the printer still open, disconnect the power outlet.
Close the lid and turn on the printer.
Now put your cartridges back in the printer, and wait for 2 minutes. The amber light beside the black ink and color ink should have disappeared.

If you continue to get the error message, try this:

Disconnect power cord.
Press and hold the power button whilst plugging the cord back in.
While still holding the power button, press the reset button twice. The printer's display will read "Factory 1".
Allow the printer to finish warming up (takes around 25 seconds).
The word "idle" appears on the screen.
Disconnect the power cord.
Reconnect the power cord.
Turn the printer back on.

Here is the manual for the Canon MP150.

You should check the ink level.
Open the [Printer Properties] dialog box. Click the [Maintenance] tab and click [View Printer Status].

If the "?" mark appears then you have to disable the low ink warning. If something else appears please let me know.

The reset procedure is this:
1) With the printer powered off but connected to a power source, press the Power button while pressing and holding
the Stop/ Reset button.
2) When the Power is lit, press the Stop/Reset button two times while pressing and holding the Power button.
3) When releasing the Power button and the Stop / Reset button (regardless of order), the printer will move into a
service mode. (Waiting for menu selection)
4) When the on/off lights in green, press the Stop/Reset button the specified number of time(s) according to the
function listed in the table below.(Each time the Stop/Reset button is pressed, the LED lights alternately in
orange and green, starting with orange.)

note: press 3 times for EEPROM reset

The number of the Reset
button pressing

0 time Green Power off
1 time Orange Service pattern print
2 times Green EEPROM print

The waste ink absorber is full

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.

Will Not print from my MacBook Pro in spite of trying both wireless and corded connections. Copies perfectly.

Deleted the original CD download. Then, reconnected the corded connection, as there is no wireless capacity. With both computer and printer reconnected, repeated the entire download process, and deleted all prior printers used by computer. System works fine if connected now.
