After more research, I think it's down to these options for me, in no order: * Epson EcoTank 2760 from Costco, partly just to try something different and see how it is, as long as I keep best printing practices. Hopefully I can then make ink last more than 1 year. * HP Envy 7858 * Repair my...

Thanks. I got the Canon MG6120 in November 2011, so lasted from then, until last Saturday. I had printed something the night before and it was fine.

Thank you for the advice. I will avoid tank printers, given that you said there could be problems with the print head. I had looked into laser printers. But I couldn't find a laser all-in-one with a smaller physical size. I had really liked the physical size of this MG6120, and I liked the...

No problem, thanks for explaining about your camera equipment. So what I did with the stop/resume sensor field, was just hold my finger over it, even before I pressed the power button. Then I did the steps of pressing the stop/resume 5 times, with the power button held. It's just tricky...

Yes, it's from the printer's normal menu. Ok, so it probably won't help then if it's just some default settings.

Thank you. I will try solution 2 again. Also, there is a reset factory settings option. Any chance that fixes it? On another topic, what do people think of megatank or supertank printers? Are they a better option than regular ink tank printers?

So I can print the EEPROM page when I'm using the service tool. I've tried this 2x. But I can't print the test page from the service tool, the printer makes some weird mechanical noise. Almost like it's looking in the wrong tray. But I did select "cassette tray" in the service tool. And...

I am still getting the 6c10 error code! It was fine when printing the EEPROM page. But when I want to actually print something, it's not printing.

I think I reset it, and I printed the EEPROM value. I still think a video on how to enter service mode would help. I noticed for my model, when it's in service mode, the LCD stays blank. And then as mentioned above, my LED light is blue, not green. Maybe @PeterBJ can make one, since he's...

Ok, the printer turns on again. I think I am in service mode now, since the service tool recognizes it.

Can you please explain the instructions for how to enter service mode? I was reading your post: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/canon-mg5250-ink-absorber-nearly-full.13403/#post-116152 I can't seem to do it with this printer, with its sensor buttons. Also, I never could get the...

Thanks. I can't find those MG models in new condition anywhere. Can you? Also, I tried calling Canon. They said this model is supported online only. I then tried to create an online case. But it says agent support isn't available for this model, only knowledge base FAQ resources.

Are you sure this button is on the MG6120? I saw it on other models (like the TS series). But not sure about this model. Here's a picture: You are right, the 3rd party PGI-280/CLI-281 are expensive. What other printers use the PGI-225 CLI-226, like the MG6120? Or is there a non Canon...

I have this same MG6120 model, and just got this 6c10 error. Some of the guides on the internet say to reset while hitting a "resume" button, but I don't think this model has a resume button. I don't want to disassemble the printer. I'll call Canon and see if they can help. It's...
