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?

Ovidiu’s instructions worked for me on MP180 when I added “try to press the Cancel/Stop red button at 6.”

3. With the power button still down, press twice the “Cancel/Stop” red button
4. Release the power button
5. The printes turns into a kind of factory mode…(wait for about 10 seconds, utils it says “Idle”)
6. Press the “>” (next to the “OK” button) once.”Shipping Mode 3″
7. Press the “OK” button.
8. Press “OK” again for “Without cleaning”
9. A test page will print..
10. Open the cover, like you are about to change the cartridges.
11. Disconnect the power cable again.
12. Take out both cartridges.
13. Close the cover.
14. Connect the power cable once again.

16. Now just put the cartridges back…

It works right for me…
