When i try to print i get a message "used ink tank is full" canon i350

Hi there! Follow those steps: i250, i350 and i000 series

1: Unplug power and USB
2: Open door and hold power button.
3: Connect power.
4: Close door, then release power button
5: Connect USB and an press power to use.
This method will work only whilst the printer's connected to power. Turning off and on at the switch will keep it, but unplugging it from the power will reset it, which means you'll have to do this again: What this does is temporarily reset the printer, but also stops it from doing headcleans everytime you open the door to switch print heads or ink tanks.

HI,

Hope this will give you hints. To pin point directly you need to replace printer head. But before replacing please consider suction cartridge caps or nozzle by cleaning and freeing clogged airways by dettaching manually. I understand that the long time being not used has caused the problem. However if you can still use black and other colors then used it than complicating downtime in repairing procedures. Yes, you are right no need to clean deeper more than three times it will consume inks half empty. Have a nice day.

Hi there,
Error "Waste Ink Near Full"
Cause : The waste ink tank (which holds the ink used for print head cleaning) is nearly full.
Action : Contact the Canon Customer Care - Center.

Have a good day.

The POWER Lamp Flashes Orange Eight flashes: Waste ink tank almost full
The printer has a built-in waste ink tank for the ink used during print head cleaning. Eight flashes indicates that the waste ink tank is nearly full. Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue printing. Before the waste ink tank becomes completely full, contact a Canon service representative.

Note
Canon recommends that you call for service as soon as this error occurs. Once the waste ink tank becomes completely full, printing will no longer be possible.

my printer says the waste ink tank is full, and the power lamp flashes alternately green and orange

that means that you need to empty the overflow ink tank. got the user manual?

You probably have to clean the print head itself, witch seems to be a common need. Just take the print head out and clean the outputs with a Q-tip and distillated water. If tha doesn't work, let it soak in about a 1/4 inch of distillated water for a day or two and it may unclug the openings. Good Luck.

Buy HP instead Canon :) This is the only solution..

OK, Boys and Girls...here finally is the complete answer to the problem of the waste ink tank counter reset for Canon i250 and i350 printers.

1. Disconnect printer from AC power (take out AC cord or power off your power strip). Disconnect USB PC cable from printer.
2. Press and HOLD the POWER button (untill step 7).
3. Reconnect power cord (turn on power) to the printer.
4. The indicator should be green.
5. Press and release the RESUME button , the indicator should be orange.
6. Press and release the RESUME button again, the indicator should be green.
7. NOW Release POWER buttons.
8. NOW Connect the printer to PC (USB cable).
9. NOW...I opened "Printers" and saw that a "copy" of my printer (i250 or i350) had been made. Make that COPY your default printer and all should work...It did for me.

You May Thank Me NOW!!!!

I must say...I went into the "GUTS" of the beast and cleaned out the PADS (they are actually vacuum pads that the INK is sucked through during a HEAD cleaning) a very messy undertaking.
I'm not sure how much life this will add to your printer.

Good Luck

according to cannon the Waste ink ABORBER not tank is getting full. To clear this error press resume and print button. But this will only fix your problem if at all for a short time as this is not considered user replaceable part. You can contact canon on line at http://consumer.usa.canon.com Good luck
