lads ye're all I work in an 'ink place' and the u051 fault is a fault indicating that the offending cartridge is electrically dead, this is caused by the clever little program in the canon machine that writes info to the cartridge to make it'dead' so it cant be re-used ! possible solution is to get refilled before printer thinks it empty !!

Something that worked for me, I opened the Conon MX310. took out both cartridges, and for 10 seconds I held the Reset. put the cartridges back in, closed the lid, and again, for another 10 seconds held the reset. SLOW seconds. this reset, ink levels recognised,, and it's working as it should be.
Regards
Shane (AKA Reef_Lex)

Re; MP170 Canon printer U051 error showing / will not accept ink / will not print
Can you help with this problem. Many people are saying to reset the printer by holding down a button. I have tried them all.
Thanks
Marie
when the message appears, hold the reset button for about 5 seconds, this disables ink monitor on most canon models

how do you find the waste ink collector on a Canon scanner/printer Pixma MP170
What does the waste ink collector look like ?
Do you need to empty it or change for new one?
I had a message come up on computer screen saying it was nearly full.
Diane
Inkjet printers have a fibrous pad inside them that collects the waste
ink from cleaning the print head. Over time, this pad fills up with ink
and can no longer hold any more. When this occurs, the printer
indicates a "waste ink tank full" error.
The waste ink absorption pads are inside the printer, in the very bottom. They are usually soaked with ink when full and are very messy.
Replacing
the waste ink absorption pads is something an authorized canon service
facility can take care of for you.
