Canon MP495 refill reset / Error P08

Hey guys,

let's say, you refilled your cartridge and all of a sudden, your printer doesn't want to print anymore or the pages come out absolutely white... It's time to reset the printer with the following steps (thanks to http://canonmp495error5200.blogspot.de/2012/06/question-how-to-resolve-critical-error.html):

  1. Unplug the printer from power and wait 5 sec then plug it back in.
  2. Press "Stop/Reset" button for 2 sec and hold it.
  3. Now press and hold the "Power" button also with "Stop/Reset" for 5 sec.
  4. Release only "Stop/Reset" and wait for 2 sec (still holding "Power" button)
  5. Now press and release "Stop/Reset" 5 times.
  6. After 5 sec release "Power" button also (no LCD only power light is working).
  7. Wait for a minute (counting starts after step 6).
  8. Now power off the printer by pressing "Power" button.
  9. After 30 Seconds press "Power" button again. You are ready for printing NOW :-)
Please take the timing seriously (by counting in your head)!

Good luck.

I was able to follow your instructions and obtained a solid green light without any alerts or error messages. However, as soon I turn the printer off and on again, the error is back. This is further than I have gotten with lots of other advice! Can you please help with any more suggestions? I just replaced the ink cartridges and hate to see it wasted. Thank you!!
