PLEASE TRY THIS, Probably your waste ink counter. Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once. 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER 3. Release RESUME 4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER 5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving. 6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER 0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960) 1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print 2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise 3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter. This also applies to the i550, i560, i950, i960 i850 blinking 7 times i waste ink full..but clear the reset the waste ink counter is 4 times not 3..=.= i know some manual is say 3 times but actually is 4.. 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER 3. Release RESUME 4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER 5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving. 6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER now try press resume button 4 times..after that press the power button i850 blinking 7 times i waste ink full..but clear the reset the waste ink counter is 4 times not 3..=.= i know some manual is say 3 times but actually is 4.. 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER 3. Release RESUME 4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER 5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving. 6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER now try press resume button 4 times..after that press the power button I think I can clear up some of the problems that people are having using this function. What you are doing is forcing the printer into "Service Mode". Here is how you do it. Read this entire post and understand it before you try it. 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down RESUME and then press and hold down POWER Button. 3. Release the RESUME but continue to hold down the power button 4. Press the RESUME twice, then release POWER button. Now you have put the printer in Service Mode so it will accept Service commands. Here is the list of Service commands; A. Press the Resume button once = Print Service test print B. Press the Resume button twice = Print EEprom data sheet C. Press the Resume button Three = Initialize the EEprom D. Press the Resume button Four = Clean Waste INk Counter E. Press the Resume button Five = Change Destination settings F. Press the Resume button Six = Head Refreshing (Cleaning) G. Press the Resume buttom Seven, Eight, Nine, = Not used H. Press the Resume button Ten = Return to selection Menu To EXECUTE anyone of the above commands you "MUST Press the Power button one time. Then the function will be executed. After that function has been executed the printer will REMAIN in Service Mode,.. waiting for another command. You can only execute one command at a time. If you are through with all the commands you want to do, just press the power buttom one more time and it will turn the printer off and you will be out of Service Mode. One more note. When you get the printer into Service MOde and it is ready to accept a command, the green light will be on and steady. As you issue a command by pressing the resume button, it will alternate the color from green to orange with each press of the resume button. Remember, if you issue either one of the commands to force a print make sure you have paper installed. For all those people that could not get the "Waste Ink Reset" to work, it was because you didn't do it right. It sounds complicated but it is actually very simple. You can do it with one hand using your middle finger and you thumb,... that is if you know how to play a piano. 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down RESUME and then press and hold down POWER Button. 3. Release the RESUME but continue to hold down the power button 4. Press the RESUME twice, then release POWER button. Now you have put the printer in Service Mode so it will accept Service commands. Here is the list of Service commands; A. Press the Resume button once = Print Service test print B. Press the Resume button twice = Print EEprom data sheet C. Press the Resume button Three = Initialize the EEprom D. Press the Resume button Four = Clean Waste INk Counter E. Press the Resume button Five = Change Destination settings F. Press the Resume button Six = Head Refreshing (Cleaning) G. Press the Resume buttom Seven, Eight, Nine, = Not used H. Press the Resume button Ten = Return to selection Menu 1) With the printer power turned off, while pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press and hold the Power button. (DO NOT release the buttons. The Power LED lights in green to indicate that a function is selectable.) 2) While holding the Power button, release the Resume/Cancel button. (DO NOT release the Power button.) 3) While holding the Power button, press the Resume/Cancel button 2 times, and then release both the Power and Resume/Cancel buttons. (Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the Alarm and Power LEDs light alternately, Alarm in orange and Power in green, starting with Alarm LED.) 4) When the Power LED lights in green, press the Resume/Cancel button the specified number of time(s)according to the function listed in the table below. (Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the Alarm and Power LEDs light alternately, Alarm in orange and Power in green, starting with Alarm LED.) 4 times----Green (Power)------Waste ink counter resetting PLEASE INFORM ME IF YOU HAVE RESET THE ERROR.

i've reached into service mode and pressed resume button 4 times, it doesnt show alternate orange and green light.. just the zero number on the lcd.. so you asked me to re-read and follow this: "To EXECUTE anyone of the above commands you "MUST Press the Power button one time. Then the function will be executed. After that function has been executed the printer will REMAIN in Service Mode,.. waiting for another command. You can only execute one command at a time" and so i did.. but none still.. maybe i got it wrong on this part also hehe!

hello im back.. i called a friend expert on resetting printers.. he told me your computer has to be ON with the printer attached.. and after you reach into service mode your computer will detect a new device.. basically you'll be needing a software for that.. that said software (which includes the resetter) is only given to authorized canon service centers.. here in the philippines they charge around $10 for the service.. which isnt bad if you are using the printer for business purposes.

canon service center nearest you.. i paid $10 for the reset, but they wont give me a copy of the software.. they also voided my warranty even if its still in, because they knew im running an internet cafe business and used continuous ink system that made my ink absorber full in only two months!
