Question about Canon i350 InkJet Printer

"used ink tank is full"???

I keep getting error message "used ink tank is full" and says to restart printer. I've done this. But keep getting same error message. This happened just after we replaced black ink cartridge. Can't get it to print. Don't know what to do.

Yes, I solved the problem----by buying a new printer (ha ha)

The Canon

people said this is the only option and they give discounts if

you buy a printer from them. I got a new one for pretty cheap,

around $60 and shipping was free.

I have had this same message for a while, so I keep restarting the printer, and it works fine. Now though, it won't print at all - it says "Print head not installed! Install print head in the printer and click OK, or click cancel if no print head available".

I have had this printer for 4 years now, so maybe it is time for a replacement...

I have the same message. I turned the printer several times on and off, but message stayed and printer does not print

I had the same message "Used ink tank full" so I set to work with a screw driver.

1st I found some pads that clean the heads. There is a vacuum tube under these that goes into a motor (to create suction). Then under the motor is a larger pad that soaks up all the ink. To get this motor out you have to really force it. If you then try to remove the pad ink goes everywhere. So there you have it – Canon has designed this printer to fail after a certain amount of printing and you can’t fix it. My advice is to buy a printer from an ECO friendly company.

OK, Boys and Girls...here finally is the complete answer to the problem of the waste ink tank counter reset for Canon i250 and i350 printers.

1. Disconnect printer from AC power (take out AC cord or power off your power strip). Disconnect USB PC cable from printer.
2. Press and HOLD the POWER button (untill step 7).
3. Reconnect power cord (turn on power) to the printer.
4. The indicator should be green.
5. Press and release the RESUME button , the indicator should be orange.
6. Press and release the RESUME button again, the indicator should be green.
7. NOW Release POWER buttons.
8. NOW Connect the printer to PC (USB cable).
9. NOW...I opened "Printers" and saw that a "copy" of my printer (i250 or i350) had been made. Make that COPY your default printer and all should work...It did for me.

You May Thank Me NOW!!!!

I must say...I went into the "GUTS" of the beast and cleaned out the PADS (they are actually vacuum pads that the INK is sucked through during a HEAD cleaning) a very messy undertaking.
I'm not sure how much life this will add to your printer.

Good Luck

The error could be that the waste ink is full. They count the number of cleanings and shut down the printer when the waste ink pad gets full.

One can clean the pad by rinsing until it is almost white and then use special software to reset the counter in the printer.

Look up maintenance software for your printer.

One has to disassemble the printer to get at the waste ink blotter.

Keep getting replace yellow ink cartridge error message

Hi,

Where did you get the error message on printer or computer?

If you get the message on printer remove all cartridges and reinsert the cartridges and align the ink cartridges. If the alignment page prints successfully then the problem is resolved.

If you get the message on the computer disconnect the usb from computer. uninstall the software and reinstall the full feature software by selecting connect USB later.

This is down to a hardware error in the tank itself. Only remedy is to replace the ink tank and not use refilled or copy tanks.

Waste tank absorber is almost full ~ message

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 <OK> 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. We are aware that there are many "do-it-yourself" Web sites that offer instructions for making this repair. 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. Be aware that if you attempt this procedure, it is at your own risk.

Personally, I wouldn't do it myself, I'd inquire w/ Canon about how much it would cost to have it done first...

Error code: U150 The following ink tank cannon be recognized (Cyan)

U150 ink error fixed!

I too was getting the error for unrecognized ink cartridge. Then the little green circ board fell out of the end of the ink cartridge and it hit me that maybe if I put in the little green circ board from the old ink cartridge of the same color, then maybe the ink cartridge would be recognized. It worked! So don't throw out an ink cartridge that still has ink just because of that error and hold onto your empty cartridges in case you need the little green/gold circ boards.

This works!

Status Monitor informs of Ink levels requiring me to press resume button during and after each print job.

What it means is the tank to collect waste ink (from cleaning etc) is full.
Canon suggest you return ther printer for replacement of the absorbant mat, suggest you scour the web for DIY cures.
