    Hi There

    How To Reset Waste Ink Canon Pixma MP130



    The waste ink take is actually just a felt pad that sits under the printer mechanism inside the case and absorbs the ink from your cleanings.

    From what I gather, it’s both a time consuming and expensive proposition to take to Canon to fix.

    And they won't tell people how to do it themselves.


    Remember of course, you've got to cycle the cleaning process a huge amount of times to get this to occur.

    But when it does, there is a fix-it-yourself solution that is both safe and effective for the printer, and free.

    You have to be slightly mechanical to do this.

    If you you've never used a screwdriver and are all thumbs, but give it a shot or give it to someone halfway coordinated to do this for you.



    You may RESET the printer code first if you like or do it after you clean the pad

Ink absorber is full

You would need to take it to a canon service centre..

Or look on ebay, i thinks its just cotton wool type wadding thats in there but i dont know exactly where it would be inside the printer.

Plus for the same of about £15 if anything goes wrong they have to fix it.
