Pixma mp 150 code 8 waste ink absorber full. How do I empty?

The unit has to be dis-assembled and the ink absorber (like a felt blotter) has to be cleaned or replaced. After re-assembly, service software is used to reset the ink counter.

Cleaning the waste ink pads is easy.

Are your ink tanks empty and have you been using non Canon cartridges?

It is a shop repair since you have to use Canon diagnostics to reset the count and clear the error. The new part is around $10.00 only.

I do not have the reset codes for the MP150, however the reset codes for the MP190 are below and they may be the same .. Please note that this reset procedure may not work for you and it is possible it can render your printer unusable. Good luck...
