Error 07

..

The P, 0, 7 error indicates that the waste ink absorber is full. Canon assumes that the printer will be replaced at this point; the counter connected to this error is set to the expected number of cleaning cycles and pages printed for the life of the printer. So unless it is under warranty, you may want to just replace the printer.

To solve the error, you would need to disassemble the printer carefully and clean or replace the sponges that absorb ink during use. These are at the very bottom of the printer and moving them could get ink everywhere. At minimum, keep the printer on some layers of newspaper. Then you could rinse the absorbers under cool running water until the water runs clear. Next, dry the pads completely and reassemble the printer. Then you need to find a way to reset this counter. (There are a few videos online but the reset procedures given do not always work.)

If you do the reset before cleaning or replacing the absorbers, eventually the ink will spill out of the printer.

I hope this helps.

A B LED light denotes that the black ink cartridge is running low.
A C LED light denotes that the colour ink cartridge is running low.
If the alarm light is on (lightning bolt in a triangle) it should be accompanied by an error code.
Canon MP495 - Error Codes If the printer displays an error message, the following information should help to diagnose the problem.
The led screen on the printer will flash a letter E and will then be followed by two numbers:
Error Description More Info Error E02 The machine is out of paper or will not feed. Error E03 Paper jam or output tray is closed. More Info Error E04 The Cartridge cannot be recognised.

i dont think you where trying the right solutions. the mp250 catridge 511 can not be reset as far as i know. what you can do to get it to print is to long press the reset button. this disables the ink level check function and you can work. the procedure you stated is usually for resetting the ink absorber, not catridges.

Good Luck!

Hi,

How much time you have done refilling a same cartridge? You shouldn't refill a same cartridge more than three times. Make sure that the cartridges are OK. May be the head of the cartridges are not in good condition. You may need to replace cartridge. Check that you have installed the cartridges properly or reinstall it. Align the cartridges. If it doesn't solve your problem then you have to replace the cartridges. Using original cartridge always is recommended.

The Error P07 means your printer Ink absorber is full. See complete Error code Canon mp250/258 Printer

Solution: How to reset it you can get detail on the web too. here is the link How to reset Canon MP 250 Series includes Manual Reset and Permanent Reset with Tools

originally, when u have ink cartridges in Canon product run low u need to buy new ones, because it was designed like that. even u have refilled the old cartridge full, it will detected low ink because the old cartridge already detected for the beginning. this designed to make Canon buyer to buy new ones ink cartridge. but, there some trick to make your old cartridge detected as new one, all u need just to reset the setting for cartridge recognition. try to visit this site:

This is the REAL working method of manually resetting Canon ip1880 - ip 1980.

1. Unplug the POWER cord.
2. Press & hold the power button.
3. Connect the power cord WHILE holding the power button.
4. Keep on holding the power button for about 30 seconds.
5. Release the power button. The printer should be turned off.
6. Turn the printer on and that's it!

NOTE: You have to do this every time you turn on your printer. Or you will get the waste pad full error.

Hope this helps.
