History:- My Canon Pixma MP560 has served well for many years of my using Octoink refill inks to refill cartridges using Durchstich method and chip re-setter. Have had to change printhead a few times (in early naive days refurbished heads bought - no good at all- short life if work at all then...

Progress. I never throw anything away and had an old print head in a box of bits.....it was labeled out of use because of red jet not working.....so thought I would give it a go and bingo the error B200 has gone and can print again though only tried grey scale standard....will be satisfied with...

I see HP also use chips on their lazar toner cartridges and can block use of non original or refilled ones. I see there is one make -Laipeng that sells carts without chips but with tools for transferring chip from OEM cart...anyone used these?,,,,,so just glued on? CART 142A for HP M110w...

Yes Pixma MP560 Thanks all for comments. Especially PeterBJ for pointing back to my previous post(s). I bought a new yellow cart (sealed and unused )and light on ok but still B200 error. I found I have a copy of the Canon workshop manual on my old Dell computer) and yes it does give what...

Now showing error code B200. on my PIXMA 560. I have previously had the waste ink pad full error and reset counter using service tool V3400.exe ( provied by a kind person on here and now held in documents folder) I used DELL DIMENSION 5150 with Windows XP. With top open and carriage in middle I...

I have Pixma MP560 and use OCTOINK to refill tanks CLI-521/PGI-520 and resetter to reset chips. Can the same ink be used to refill the tanks in a MG6450 and will a RED setter reset the chips ok?

Have been using Octoink supplied ink to refill my Pixma MP560 cartridges (Durchstich method) for many years now with no problems. Over the years I have only had to have one new printhead which was for another reason than for using 3rd party ink. (can't remember what). I use the redsetter to...

Good idea and I even thought just drill a hole in the bottom of printer tray and put in a tube sealed through a gromit so ink just comes out into a waste ink tray underneath the printer BUT the MP560 has an A4 paper store/feed tray on the bottom with associated feed mechanism that reaches right...

:):):) Ink counter reset. HOWEVER frustration at first when printer not going into svc mode. Then I realised that (from another source I had seen) the instruction for enter svc mode should have said - with power turned off press and hold down power AND STOP BUTTONS then turn on mains power at...

I now have the USB A to B cable. Tthis was further confused by there being 2 type B plugs.:(..one on my printer is the square one with small diagonal corners on one side and a second is much larger with an extended bit on one side....Ho-Hum got there in the end. Do I need to carry out the...

Thanks again....slowly gathering all the information. I am in UK so work in £...GBP. Just found another small snag...don"t have a USB cable to be able to connect old Dell Windows to printer for reseting. The MP650 has USB type B...the square outlet (shaped with 2 corners cut off) I assume it...

No progress yet still batteling other domestic/car problems. In service manual - (11) ink absorber replacement - page45/64 it says "5) while being cautious of the ink tube...return print unit to bottom case....." Dare I hope this tube is what carries waste ink to pads?? 1. If so could it be...

Just looked at the video.....easier to refill the bottles instead of cartridges and looks easy to remove the waste ink pads....BUT....when the pad full error comes up and shuts printer down (like MP560), then ok pad easy to change (is it?) but how to reset ink counter? presumably there is a way??

I think I am winning. Service tool now on my XP Dell PC and have downloaded and saved service/parts manual to both Apple and Dell computers. Now just got to find time and courage to do reset then strip down to clean pads. In the Manual do I presume "FCC " is something to do with the cables...

PeterBJ and Hat - thanks. have saved that to documents and will look at it all once other problems around the place cleared and I have the time. Should be able to work it all out on the Dell PC with XP....thank goodness I kept it even if all seem to have given up on XP. If only Canon had...

Thanks for the info. BUT I fail at first fence!! trying on my MacBook air. 1.click the yellow button (in Russian) to down load service manual. Then I just get lost in "Yandex and various instructions and signing in and create a ...etc, etc,etc and get lost in the world of "Rocky Sands" 2...

Computers I use:- MacBook Air late 2014 with OS Catalina and Mac MINI with OS Big Sur. Occasionally use Dell Dimension 5150 with windows XP. Just home use. Hi all. My Cannon MP560 has now stopped with "ink absorber full error 5B00". When switched on it just goes to error state and does not...

Have been so busy on other projects etc that have not had time to play with new MP560 other than print out manual and a couple of other minor jobs, so not aware of that "question" appearing on screen (vast amounts of time spent reading a lot on this forum). I will have to have a look and see...

Has anyone done a study, or have an opinion on ink supplied by JR (stands for just refill......JR universal inkjet). Their filling instruction for canon PGI 520 was hole in top and supplied rubber plug to close after.......they didnt mention that as you filled, the ink dripped out the outlet...

To qwertydude thanks but I was asking for pointers to particular posts........so many posts on and around the subjects that it takes hours and hours to get the answers reading through all those posts. I do a lot of advising and problem solving on a one make car forum and understand the...
