Re: Canon MPC200 - Waste Ink Message
Warwick The manual to my Canon S520 mentions the waste ink tank but is not at all helpful. It says:- Under head cleaning - Avoid excessive head cleaning as this wastes ink and my result in the waste ink tank becoming full at an early stage. Under waste ink tank is the following also not helpful item The printer has a built in waste ink tank. Before the waste ink tank becomes full contact a canon representative to have the waste ink tank replaced. When the waste ink tank becomes completely full printing will no longer be possible From these I suspect it is not possible for the average user to either empty or replace the waste ink tank. Not very helpful I am afraid but may add to the general store of useless knowledge.

Re: Canon MPC200 - Waste Ink Message
Hi Warwick, I had the same problem a couple of years ago with a Canon printer which was about three years old. My tank became completely full and was putting blotches on the printouts and eventually stopped working. I took it to a Canon repairer and the cost to empty or replace the tank was almost equivalent to the cost of new machine. I opted for the latter and upgraded to a later model.

Re: Canon MPC200 - Waste Ink Message
Hi Warwick and All As my dad has light duties at an office supplies shop Three days a week I will have him ask one of the service technicians about it. Let you know on Thursday Is the printer still under warranty? As the tank replacement may be covered under warranty but I would not hold my breath Kyle -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Warwick I can guess you have used a lot of prints near 10,000 perhaps ! Most of the Inkjet printers actually count the number of prints and on the assumption that the printer needs a service after that many prints , they spit out a messageor stop printing . If you can find a technical manual by using google to search the net it is most likely to have an instruction on how to reset the counter . While it says Waste Ink near full , it might well refer to something other than a tank. It could be some sort of blotter . This would preferably need washing out or replacing.
