    Canon iP8500 error

    I had great help back in March with an 'Ink Full' error. Thanks to PeterBj and others. All was working well until now! I have an error message "Operator error" and have 5 orange flashes followed by a solid green light. Any suggestions this time? Thanks for your help. Trevor

    Ip8500 ink tank full error message

    Mnay thanks PBJ for taking the time to look over the printout and your detailed explanation. As you say, a mass of information is stored behind the scenes showing the history of use. I'm a member of the local camera club here in Sussex, UK and we regularly compare notes about printers. I do...

    Ip8500 ink tank full error message

    We've got there! Thanks for all your help. You were correct, I had to set the page counter to zero first. I've now printed the EEPROM page and see that D=000.18 but the TPAGE =06695? I don't use my printer that often, mainly for photos. Does a photo = more than a single page of BW text? Trevor

    Ip8500 ink tank full error message

    Thanks. All good tips. I've tried to follow the re-set method for the counter but it will not work. When I switch on I get 7 orange blinks and then 1 green. If I take it all apart will it then allow me to re-set the counter (or will it do that as part of the job)? As there's no screen where will...

    Ip8500 ink tank full error message

    Hi, After many years of excellent use I've got this "tank full" message and the printer is locked out. I understand this is merely an internal page counter not an actual tank "Full". Is it possible to re-set the counter without taking the printer apart to empty the sponges? If so, has anyone...
