    I have installed new cartridges in my MP150 printer. The cartridges are replacement cartridges bought from ebay. But the printer is showing an error message that it cannot recognised the cartridges ( black and color both ). I did use the MPtool but it does not do anything and just shows ” Read info… ” . Is there any specific way to run the software ? Please help me out, I am in real urgent need of a solution. Thank you very much in advance.

  23. Fz says:

    @Ravi Kumar, I think any problem on your printer hardware. MPTool can not fixed your problem because the software only be used to reset the counter(ink counter and ink level) on the printer

  26. a elwakhery says:

    Dear Sir or Madam
    I have canon pixima mp480 printer. I wonder whether your driver update (fix canon printer now!!!) would solve the problem of low ink level after refilling my cartridge. If it can I am going to register immediately and pay the fees. If it cannot is there any other soft ware that can do the job. Your prompt response is would be highly appreciated.

  29. arumugam says:

    i have mp180 i was downloaded mptool and install my system its showing read info but not responding after that so how can i reset inklevel any idea pls help me

  30. Fz says:

    @arumugam, you must reset manually your printer before using this software. MPTool support for your Canon printer model

  31. misae says:

    i also already download the software but all the ink level showing unknown. i cannot click any button of the software

  32. Ovidiu says:

    For arumugam :

    For MP180 reset like this (i use this metod for my MP180);
    It will see cartridges full, even on unknown cartridges :

    1.Disconnect USB and the power cable
    2.Hold down Power button
    3.Reconnect the power cable (still holding down power button)
    4.With the power button still down, press twice the Cancel/Stop red button
    5.Release the power button
    6.The printer is now in factory mode (wait about 30 seconds until it says Canon idle or just Idle)
    7.Press the + button (next to the OK button) until it says Shipping Mode 1, or Shipping Mode 3, depending of model
    8.Press the OK Button
    9.Now with it displaying Without Cleaning, press OK and then the power button
    10.A test page should print (or simulate it if is no ink in cartridge), and wait until finish print; take care to be paper in printer (if not will be forced to remake steps 1-9)
    11.Now open cover
    12.Disconnect the power again
    13.Take both cartridges out like normal
    14.Close cover (with cartridges out from printer)
    15.Reconnect power cable ((with cartridges still out from printer)
    16.Press power button
    17.Select language, it will ask to install cartridges
    18.Reinstall cartridges and close the cover

    After these operations, the printer will show the print cartridges full, like brand new.
    This type of reset should be done after every refill (even it will not be necessary, i recommend to do this).

    how to reset ink level on mp250

  49. Simon says:

    I tried the re-set as suggested by Ovidiu on 20th December 2010, and all went as he describes, but at the end I still have the U140 error reading against the black cartidge. Both cartidges are refilled: the black is a 50 size and the colour a 40. I can’t get the MPtool app to read the printer, so that isn’t any use either. Any more suggestions?

  50. greg says:

    tried reset by ovidiu….worked great for me….so far.

  51. Federal says:
