Reset ink absorber counter on HP J4580 - HP OfficeJet J4580 All-In-One Laser Printer

Hello, this is from the service manual.

The ink absorber is supposed to be full.
1) Ink absorber condition
2) Part replacement: - Ink absorber kit
3) Ink absorber counter value in the EEPROM; reset the ink absorber counter.

But of course you can only reset it one time without replacing the absorber kit, and here is how you can do it:

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Press and hold the Resume button (triangle inside a circle).
3. Whilst it is held down, hold down the Power button. The green led light should come on.
4. Keep the Power button held down. Release the Resume button and then press it twice. The light should go amber, then green again.
5. Release the Power button.
6. Press the Resume button four times and then press the Power button straight after to confirm the selected action (Reset Counter Absorber).
7. Turn off the printer and then turn it on again.

I personaly not advise to reset it the second time without replacing the absorber kit, the ink inside the printer will overflow and make a realy big mess.

Have a nice day

actually ink absorber is full means you printer inside got small pieces towel
to absorb ink. but Canon PIXMA printers display an error when a certain internal counter suggests that the ink absorber may be full. If you've done a lot of printing, the ink absorber may actually be full and you might need to have it cleaned or replaced to ensure the best printing quality. However, if you haven't printed that much or you have and you just need to print something right this minute, there is a way to reset the counter and stop the error from showing up again

Hi. As you have not mentioned the make and model of the printer, I am giving here the procedure to reset waste ink counter applicable to most printers. Hope it helps.
Canon Pixma iP1200, iP1600, iP2200 Resetter

1. Download software for Canon iP1200, iP1600, 2200 Printers.DOWNLOAD Service Tool Software for Canon Pixma Printer iP1200, iP1600, iP2200
2. Unzip downloaded file by WinZip, 7Zip, Izarc, etc
3. Run GeneralTool.exe
4. Select the connected USB port number from USB PORT
5. Click LOCK RELEASE, and select the applicable model name in SET DESTINATION
6. In CLEAR WASTE INK COUNTER, select MAIN or PLATEN. The selected waste ink counter will be reset. MAIN resets the main waste ink counter, PLATEN resets the platen waste ink counter.

If both the main and platen waste ink absorbers are replaced, reset both the main and platen waste ink counters.

If you have a different printer model, then please tell me and I will research that for you. Thanks.
