Top 10 Canon PIXMA MP190 All-In-One InkJet Printer Questions & Answers

I have a canon printer MP190. How do I do the reset after completing my ink cartridge to the syringe?

I refilled my MP190 Black cartridge PG-37 by drilling a hole in the top (roughly in the middle) and using the syringe supplied with the ink refill kit. To make the printer work again, press and hold down the Stop/Reset button (on bottom right hand side of printer) for at least 5 seconds until the display reads 1 again. This bypasses the ink level detector and is explained in the trouble shooting section of the on screen manual supplied on the printer installation CD. It works. It then happened again with the colour cartridge, so I repeated the process. It worked again. This should also work for the PG40 and CL41 cartridges.

Some have posted reset instructions here, but I wouldn't do that since the ink can overflow and make a mess. You should have the absorbers replaced by a repair shop and the reset done properly.

1. Try cleaning the paper feed rollers

Instructions how to clean the paper feed rollers.
If the paper feed rollers become dirty, they may not be able to properly feed paper due to the feed roller's slippage.
If paper does not feed correctly, perform the following to clean the paper feed rollers:

1. Open the Printers folder.
   
   - For Windows XP Home Edition : Click/Select 'Start,' 'Control Panel,' 'Printers and Other Hardware,' and 'Printers and Faxes.
   
   - For Windows XP Professional Edition : Click 'Start' and 'Printers and Faxes.'
   
   - For Windows Vista : Click 'Start,' 'Control Panel,' 'Hardware and Sound,' and 'Printers.'
   
   - For Windows 2000 : Click/Select 'Start,' and 'Settings,' then 'Printers.'
2. Right-click the icon of the printer for paper feed roller cleaning, and select 'Properties' from the displayed list.
3. Click the 'Maintenance' tab and click 'Roller Cleaning'.
   
   Remove all sheets of paper from the rear tray, then click 'OK'.
4. Confirm the message, and click 'OK'.
   Note: Clicking 'OK' will activate the paper feed rollers 30 times. This activation will take about 90 seconds. Do not perform other operations until this operation has finished.
5. Confirm the message, and click 'OK'.
   
   After the continuous paper feeding operations in step 5 have finished, load three sheets of plain paper and click 'OK'.
   
   
   
6. Confirm the message, and click 'OK'.
   
   Note: “Feed roller cleaning is completed” message is displayed when the paper is fed and ejected.
   
   Click 'OK'.
