Question about Canon PIXMA Office Equipment & Supplies
When installing refill cartridges the ink level still shows empty on the computer ink level status manager. I tried to unplug the printer for a couple of minutes after installing the refill cartridges but to no avail. What can I do to fix this? The printer does print with these cartridges but the quality on the ink printing looks to be not all that good.
Thanks
How to reset the Canon MP150 after a refill (Step 10 concerns refill; instructions below the steps):
Method1 (Safe Factory Method):
1) Disconnect the printer’s power outlet
2) Press and hold the power button while connecting the power outlet back.
3) While still holding down the power button, press the reset button twice.(red circle with a triangle)
4) Release the power button
The printer takes about 10 seconds to show the number 0.
5) Press + to change the value from 0 to 1.
6) When this value is 1, press colour button; this will light up two leds.
One is for plain paper and the other for photo paper. At this point is feed the printer with paper.
7) Press the power button twice and the printer will print a some stuff (if it doesn't print by itself, then press the "color" button once and the test sheet will print). Don’t worry much about the printed material. I got some stripped lines and some numbers. I believe that my colour cartridge is clogged which is why I got the green strips.
When you print this sheet the value in the display returns to zero.
8 ) Open the printer cover cover (not the scanner cover) and remove the cartridges. With the printer still open, disconnect the power outlet.
9) Close the lid and turn on the printer.
10) Refill cartridges and place them back in their nice little abode in the printer.

Thanks, it really helped, now the ink levels on the indicator from the Canon Utility are actually showing the ink levels at their top.
It does not show the #0 on mine. It flashes only the yellow tryangle!
After a lot of try, I can't manage the error. But I've discovered a variety of Service Menu on the Canon Pixma Mp140. You can found it here.
yea same with mine how do i fix this
Wow, gotta really thank you for this one! Worked perfectly and now the ink levels are all up!! Awesome stuff...
Wonderfull trick... I have tried 2x and it works... Very very much thank's for your amazing trick....

Thanks a million ton sir. Your solution is still helpful after more than 5 years. I shall buy you a beer when we meet.

Refilled cartridges are monitored as used cartridges .the mp 140 such as all printers ,accept inks oem like a serial number.
when you place the ink back in though it maybe refilled,the chip inside the printer,remembers that this cartridge has been used already,no matter if its empty or not. the only thing you can do to solve this problem is deactivating the monitored levels of ink,by pressing and holding cancel button for about 15 seconds or so

All you have to do is reset your printer after a recharge. To do this just hold the red button after you start your printer somth like 10-15 sec. The printer will show you thet yoour ink level is low but will work fine

Just press & hold the RESET button for 10 seconds after the power led is stable ON (not blinking).
1. Power on the Printer.
2. Wait till the PWR led is STABLE GREEN (not blinking)
3. Press & hold the RESET button for 10 seconds.
4. You should see number 1 in the display.
5. You can proceed with the scanner now. Issue is solved.

This solution worked for me too, I found the solution from this site How to reset Canon mp140. It was quick and easy, I know inks are so expensive that we need to refill them to save some dollars. :)
