 | Canon ip4000 waste tank full reset code, + 1 tip by Anonymous (11/5/07 11:47 AM) reply | + / - | http://www.cyber-ink.com/member-canon.html
I tried the reset sequence posted on the above web page, and although it says it's for ip2000/3000, it worked for my ip4000 as well. Just want to spread the word to everyone else who's run into the same problem!
Here is an excerpt:
Reset ip2000 / 3000
1. Turn off printer
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not, press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal
You don't really need to physically clean or replace the waste ink pad unless it's REALLY giving you any problem during printing, or if you have to do a lot of print head cleaning.
Another tip: if you find youself having to do a lot of print head cleaning, the problem may be that the ink tank is getting clogged and air is not getting inside the tank fast enough to balance out the vacuum created by the outflow of ink during printing, which in turn prevents ink from flowing out smoothly. In this case, you will have to replace the ink tank, but then again, you can drill a hole in it and use it for a long time, like all CANON printer users should know by now.
So, stick it to CANON, and fix your printer yourself!
