"Resetting the waste ink absorber on a Canon printer

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

Hopefully this helps"

On my MG2550 cleaned the absorber sponge and everything like it had to be done. But already tried ALL the POWER-RESET/STOP button ideas. Tried it in service mode with “Service Tool V: 3400 3600 3800 3900 the printing eeprom is working, but in lights test or what I really want absorber counter reset, the programs allways freezed. On the versions 4200 4718 and 4907 the counter reset is earned by a massive 002 error code, so the printer doesn't understand the command. What should I do more?
