Hi. Try to reset the printer using the procedure below.
Manual Reset for Canon Pixma MPC190 Printers
Hi,
The error 5 is due to usage of refilled cartridges, its not advised to use refilled ink tanks; which might lead to service the printer. Please try the below manual reset, If this reset did not work. You have to buy Genuine canon cartridges.

Hey. I managed to get into service mode, but really don't understand "test mode" and all the choices I am supposed to select. I mean the display only has a capacity to show nr "8" and its combinations using those 7 little lines... Everyone copies this solution to discussions, but it is super unreasonable...

Angelo thank you for your post. I have a MP190, not MPC 190. If there is some software or something that will provide those readouts, let me know; there is no display on an MP190, nor is there a menu button. Thanks, please respond.
Note I have tried from reading other posts, to press/hold reset, press hold power, let go of reset, push reset twice, then let go of power, wait for rollers to quit turning, turn off then turn on. I have tried any number of combinations such as this that I have read on this site's post, and either 1. when turning computer back on, the E5 error flashes again, or 2. If the error goes away and 0 shows in display, then the printer will no longer com with the computer. If 2. occurs, then when i turn off printer and turn on again, it resets the E5 error. Can I reset the PROM on an MP190 in any way on my computer??
Thanks, Jim
I have talked to two tech's and they are both referring to MPC190 with a screen, not MP190 PIXMA that I own. I am sure that the printer can be reset; can someone please help with the correctly requested device?
The MP 190 does not have a screen like the MPC190, but I believe that there is a reset program/ procedure that can work, from observing your site. i do not know why i am listed as any subject matter dealing with bar code scanners, but I requested that this be deleted. Thank you for any help you can provide. Jim Jones
Riztech, I have a MP190 not MPC190. Is there any reset program or similar that I can use to get into the printer? I believe that a refill cartridge will work; it did for a while. If I use the reset hold/ power hold procedure and then tie a reset program to it can it work? There must be a way to use refills by resetting, as my print quality was great before the error of E5 which is '..not recognized ink cartridge'. Thanks for your response. Jim
