Hi everyone!

My Canon IP 3000 produces 5 orange blinks after I turn it on.
I've tried the method in the service manual, (hold reset, turn on, release reset, push twice, blabla) but it's not working.
I'm looking for a software what I can use to reset the print head's counter. I found out that there's a software for this called iPTools, but the newest version I could find is 1.1.5, and this doesn't works with IP 3000.
The URL what's provided in the 'about menu' is not working ....
Any method I can use to fix this problem? (without buying a new head for 75 USD o_O)

As far as I know the five blinking orange lights mean only one thing.
Its print head time, so if you dont have a second hand one then I am afraid its $75.
The pain O the pain :hit

All of them! LOL
It could be much worse. It could be an Epson, in which case you'd need a whole new printer.
