Hello All- I'm a new guy from Dayton, Ohio, USA, and was privileged to find this site with all its good information and assistance- I just LOVE the Do-it-yourself culture. Since retiring from a cop shop over here, I've found great pleasure in repairing my small engine yard tools, and recently bicycles since getting back into them last August. It's more than saving money- which is nice as well, but repair over throwing stuff away provides a sense of accomplishment and gratification.
Getting an 09 error with service tools provided by The Hat to someone four years or so ago, https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/service-tools-for-canon-printers.10985/ and the one Peter recently provided in reference to Potsie's post. https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/ink-absorber-pads.13585/#post-117778 I have tried every hard reset combination I can find to no avail. I was wondering if maybe an earlier driver version for the printer may make sense. I'm pretty sure this model uses the 5 taps on the reset button method as this gets me into a steady green power button with a blank screen. Also darkens the options on the tools and allows them to be clicked on, so I thought maybe a communication issue with the driver?
I included Potsie because I also thought the purge pads were the ink absorbers, so I know I have to tear this machine down to get to the ink absorber(s). However, if I can't reset then the cleaned pads will mean nothing, so I thought I'd see if I can get the software figured out before tackling the hardware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS- I originally posted this just to The Hat, Peter and Potsie, and at that time either was getting and error code of 06- or else I'm getting dyslexic. Maybe not though, because at that time the toll was hanging up- and with error 9 it is not. Can't help it- reminds me- did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic? Stayed up all night wondering if there really was a DOG!
