Clearing Error 27 on Canon PIXMA MP190
Does anyone know a way to clear error E27 (ink absorber full) on Canon MP190? I have cleaned the ink absorber. Turned the printer off and on, using various code-clearing procedures online with no success. E27 always returns.
Below are some steps I have tried with no success. Thanks in advance. Bob *** None of these below have worked for me..... Press and hold the "Power" button and reconnect the power cord. When the printer comes on, release the button. Wait five seconds and push the "Power" button again. This resets the printer's internal memory and overrides the "Ink Absorber Full" error code. === http://www.fixya.com/support/t917147...ll_canon_mp190 If your absorber is full, call Canon at 732-521-7230 to order the replacement pads for the ink absorber. If you do not have access to new ink absorber pads, you can extend the life of your current pads by rinsing them thoroughly and allowing them to dry before reinstalling them. To replace the pad: 1 Open the printer as though you were going to install new ink cartridges, letting the cartridge cradle move to the center of the printing unit. Unplug the printer so that the cartridges will remain in their position. 2 Locate the waste ink absorbers in their black rubber frame. They will likely be on the right side of your printer, and will be located underneath the area where the ink cartridges rest when the printer is in standby mode. 3 Use a paper napkin or other disposable and absorbent material to soak up any excess ink that may be in the pads by pressing it down onto the top of the frame. 4 Pull the rubber frame free from the printer, wearing gloves to keep your hands clean. Carefully remove the ink absorber pad or pads from the rubber frame. 5 Insert new ink absorber pads firmly into the rubber frame. Replace the rubber frame in its original position and close the printer. 6 Hold down the power button, then plug the printer back in. Continue holding the power button down until the printer begins to reset itself and come online. 7 Wait for the green power light to turn off, then press and release the power button again. It should blink for two to three seconds, then stay lit; this will indicate that the printer has been reset and is ready to print again without errors. === try this.. it worked on my MP190 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down STOP/RESET and then hold down POWER 3. Release STOP/RESET (don?t let go of the power just yet) 4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER 5. let green light blink until print head has finished moving. i have had try that command, it was working at first, but if you turn off and on again the problem still persist. === CANON MP190 Reset Waste Ink full canon 1. Enter SERVICE MODE. By pressing Menu Copy Scan Copy Copy (My note: There is no "menu" button on this printer MP190) 2. Select TEST MODE. 3. Select [8] PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE. 4. Select 3. [EEPROM CLEAR]. 5. Select 0. [INK COUNT]. 6. Press the [Set] key. 7. Press the [Stop/Reset] key (returning to the state of 3)), and then press the [ON/OFF] key After reset manual now remained the reset permanenly using http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/inkjet/67217 |

I sometimes use Q-tips and 91% rubbing alcohol to clean out areas of printers and would try cleaning out the holder for the ink pad and squeezing ink out of the pad in an attempt to reuse it. I'm guessing that the ink could be slightly conductive and there could be sensing electrodes in the ink pad holder that could be covered with ink and cleaning them could but the printer back in operation. ^_^ TDD |

Clearing Error 27 on Canon PIXMA MP190
For anyone else bumbling along like I am, here are some good links I found for Canon MP190 and similiar models.
When instructions say to press the RESUME button, there is no button called Resume on MP190. They are talking about the button with no label that looks like like an upside down triangle. If the instructions for MP190 say press "Menu", they are confusing this model with the MPC190. No Menu button on the MP190. Turns out a lot of people were copying and reposting these instructions online and they don't work for MP190.

OP needs a 32 bit driver. On the disk, there should be a *.cab file in the Windows /system or /driver folder. Search for device and point to that folder. YMMV On a laptop clean install for a friend, I found many of the device drivers from HP were dated 2009 on Win7 (64 bit). The printer install software was a suite of options to scan, etc.. I got the file, but she did the printer install at home. |

Look on the 2000 disk for a Windows system or driver folder. There may be a generic M$ driver to find the printer. A word of caution. Before you try to install Win7, do yourself a favor and run the M$ comparability utility. It will show if your hardware will support Win7. (...and some other things apply) |

Get real the cost to develop and test drivers for extremely old O/S's 14 years old does not seem like a win for the companies. Quite the opposite. You running something so old is your problem. You keep an old system for reasons that are yours, but the manufacturers only go back one or 2 releases at most. Lets see you missed XP, Win2003(server), 2005 server 2008 server, Vista (crap) and Win7 pretty good. Win 8 is out now.. Count how many versions you missed.. 2000 works fine for everything I'm using except this printer problem which will be solved soon.. I have a Win7 DVD and never saw a real reason to install it. If your machine is old enough to have come with Win2k it is very unlikely that Win7 will work on it. |

Even if the old OS computer only make up 5% of the market, they are still losing a decent amount of sales. I have the opposite need. I want a newer OS with drivers for older printers. I can't use my favorite printer anymore. If you have Win7/8 but your device does not have any drivers newer than XP/win2k... you can get it to work. If the driver package is a self-extracting executable you will need to unpack it first. Once you do that, you can install your device but you will have to OK installing an unsigned driver. Though I have gotten this to work with no problems...and Win7/8 is pretty good about rolling back drivers that could potentially harm your system...this would have to be done at your own risk as there is no absolute guarantee. Though there are plenty of utilities that will extract the files from the self-extracting installer,I used to simply start the process but not cancel it when I got the message about the OS not being supported... then simply copy the files from the temporary location to a folder elsewhere. |

I know there is people still using DOS too, LOL! Yes, that is my case. I'm not interested in being on the leading edge of the computer world. That's not my business or main interest. When I'm sitting at a computer, nothing is getting done around here. Same for "up" grading -- my experience going from DOS to 3.1, 95, 98 and 2000 is that something is always lost or doesn't work as well when it's finished. The only advantage I have seen is CPU speed when I have to upgrade the hardware, and that really is not important for anything I do online. Mostly I just need to calculate, enter text, create simple line drawings or make simple photo manipulations. The few websites I have done are very simple using at text editor and HTML -- displaying basic text and graphics. No security, flash, e-commerce, tracking, etc., needed. I use them mostly for distributing documents or use with WS_FTP as a dropbox for sending and receiving documents and large files. I seldom need video or game software. Any websites I can't access with IE6, I just use Firefox, Chrome, etc. For work, 99%+ of my use is text-based. Nearly all is keyboard-based. I only use the mouse as a last resort. My business is mostly working hands-on away from computers at industrial field sites. Any computer work on site is done using proprietary industrial software or the customer's system. 386's are still the most common CPU for running equipment in most plants I visit. Any of my own home computer use involves reading, writing and rithmatic, and that's pretty much it. Any documents I need can be converted to older or newer version with any number of low-cost online services. For engg drawings, my ACAD Version 12 (c. 1994) does everything I need. Don't need virtual reality, 3-D, etc -- just plain old X-Y drawings are fine. There's no quicker way to get exactly the kind of file list I need than DOS.... dir *.doc filelist.txt That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL!! Bob |
