    Hi, i just successful SOLVED the problem from the Printer Waste Ink tank error for Canon IP1500. Hope these procedures might help any of you.

    The problem arise when the printer used for long period, (my case is for 1 year more after it bought). The printer giving an error message for Waste Ink Tank Full.(Giving 8 blinking of it power light) And prompt me to take it to Canon Service center. While it blinking it LED, you cannot operate the printer thru Windows and the catridge won't come out even you open the front cover. Howere, the small tips below can help you save some money by fixing it yourself.


    Part A    : Cleaning the waste ink tank.
    1) Open the front cover and power-ON, when the catridge come out from where it hiding, quickly unplug the power cord.

    2) Use a tissue (preferred toilet tissue) to suck out the excessive ink in the waste ink tank in where the catridge hide. After you satisfy, close the front cover.

    Part B: Reset the waste ink counter.
    3) While pressing the ON button, plug in the power cord. The power light will be in orange/yellow. (This is mean it is in service mode).

    4) Keep pressing the ON button, press the RESUME button 4 times. (The light change everytime you press it.)

    5) Release both buttons, and restart the printer.

    The printer should now operate as usual and stop blinking it LED.

    Hope this might help.

    When I see Canon IP1500, I think of iR2200 or iR3170 in office... NIGHTMARE!!! ARGH!!!

    Canon ip1500 Waste Ink Tank Error

    Thank you thank you thank you. Your solution worked like a champ. I should have found you before I purchased another ip1500. I had just ordered ink. Now I have two and will be able to keep them printing for a long long time.
