Ditto, plus it delays considerably, the arrival of the "Waste Tank Full" message which is the result of the machine adding up all the cleaning operations carried out, (needless or not ).

The buttons are shown in diagram form in your on screen manual which downloads with the install disc, if you have it, or download it from Canon, perhaps? 6) [Black] Button Starts black & white copying. (7) [Color] Button Starts color copying. (8) [Stop/Reset] Button Cancels...

http://sosimprimante.com/index.php?showtopic=3289 I used the MP 150 instruction from here (on my MP150)and it worked (after a couple of attempts at getting the exact instruction understood and carried out) also http://www.resetters.ru/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=3203 this says the same thing I...

If you are letting it sit, for a long period i would "tape" over the nozzle area to retain moisture around the nozzles, DO NOT USE STICKY TAPE OR SIMILAR. (Use Sandwich Wrap/Shrinkwrap). All the carts I have "popped the top off" have shown a white clean surface , this I believe is Canon`s wish...

Ok , I see what you are saying , and your reasons for trying " top -on " . The reasons could be valid, incorrect seating in the cradle of the cart because of obstruction / deviance caused by a rubber band. I am always careful to apply the band at a 45 degree angle to the cart, the botton is...

I am curious as to why you think the "top off" method could be the reason for your problem? I have been using the "top off" method for nearly a year now with the same carts with none of the problems you describe. If you leave the fill hole "open", there is no difference in pressure/vacuum than...

In view that all 3 carts are suffering in the same way , I would suspect that some of the "light yellow" contact pins in the machine`s cartridge cradle are not making proper contact with the carts contact terminal area. Or , if there is no apparent outward evidence of damage to the cradle...

I have never had to wait 24 hours after refill for ink to flow ok...just 2-3 cleaning cycles. But I am refilling with "the top off", this probably avoids the formation of air pockets because I insert the needle to the bottom of the chamber and steadily withdraw, ensuring the sponge is well...

Yes regular scotch tape , sticky side to the plastic square , topside against the nozzle area. The idea is to provide a soft airtight gasket between the plastic square and the nozzle area. Instead of scotch tape you could use "cling-film" (sandwich wrap) stuck to the square , it should work just...

Thank you for describing your hot water method in detail, will employ it if I get a stubborn clog. Yes those are the discs i am talking about. The plastic is not that hard but is softened anyway by the addition of protective tape as used by Canon. *(which I omitted to mention in the previous...

Congrats on your success, I note that your hot water method is also successful and will keep the option in reserve. The protective clear "acetate/plastic" disc is the one which is at the bottom of the cake box of a 25/50/100 cd or dvd recordable blanks. The "thin" ones can be cut easily with...

I have a total of 4 sets of these carts, 3 were purchased secondhand off the web. These 3 all had 1 or more nozzles blocked (or were empty of ink). I applied 1-4 deep cleans via the maintenance program, then when the ink was flowing ok had a few normal cleans plus a couple of nozzle checks...

To the above, I would add the following:- I have refilled my C41 for use in the MP150 many times and not experienced these messages. I always treat the contacts on the cart with respect, wiping over with a dry tissue, after re-fill. However, the way they clip into the head mechanism (on the...

After the excellent debate on the merits of fill hole sealing in this method I thought HPnetserver and Defcon2k had solved my problem regarding my present syringe being to short to reach from the side of the cart at the bottom and to use it at top at the labrynth/maze vent. I duly took a CLI 8...

Thanks Defcon2k your post was already on its way as I was composing mine.
