Canon Error 5B00 Reset (SOLVED) Ink Waste Counter | Support Code 5B00 5800 Pixma G4200 7 Blinks

[@gotgreatboys]

A Thousand Times...THANK YOU for this video!!! My relatively new printer (have not even gone through my initial supply of ink!) started not printing in black and I couldn't figure out why. I performed all of the "cartridge cleaning" steps and whatever else was suggested in the printer app. Then, went online after finally figuring out the error code and researched a couple of different videos on repairing the issue. SOOOOOO frustrated that this video wasn't one of the first 4 or 5 that popped up on my screen. After trying to put the printer in service mode multiple times according to the other sources instructions and getting nowhere, I finally gave up in frustration. The printer has been sitting on my desk for a few months now and I finally got so desperate that I was planning to go out THIS afternoon to purchase a new one after doing a little research. Decided to try to fix our printer one last time and looked up the error code again. This time, the same few videos I had watched the first time popped up, but because I could tell that I had already viewed them previously, I went to the next one. THIS ONE!!! Worked the first time. I can not believe how easy it was and how much time I wasted on the previous ones. So very frustrating. THANK YOU for your very thorough explanation and description of what to expect. I'm bookmarking this one!

[@anthonygardham4573]

I used your reset advice on my Canon G3501. It worked absolutely fine and we are now back printing. This saved me a "quoted" repair fee of £200.00 here in the UK...Thank you so much.

[@viniciusstellium8012]

Thank you so much for this video. The only one that actually gave correct info on how to put the printer in service mode and press the buttons the correct amount of times. Here in Brazil there are so many people making 15 minutes videos giving a lot of wrong info, it sucks. Even printer store attendants gave us a lot of BS! Thnks again, mate

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome, I am happy to help =)

[@mollyknop7344]

@@thecollegepicker I logged in to say the same thing except I'm in the U.S. and the other videos are just as bad as the commenter said were in Brazil. This video is the only one that gave the right directions. I was about to toss my printer out the window before I saw this. It's almost back to normal! Thank you!!

[@walterreed6092]

I called Cannon Support after paying $20 fee. They were no help, said my 5B00 error code was not fixable. The only thing they offered me was a 10% discount on certain models of new Cannon printer for me to purchase! Thank you SO MUCH, your instructions worked on my 1st try. If someone like me, a 76 year old can follow your instructions, anyone can!

[@beccastites1544]

I run a business and today this printer was absolutely essential. This popped up and it was fixed in minutes, seriously, thank you!!

[@thecollegepicker]

Business goes on 🤝

[@7thgradepsr]

Thankfully yours was the first video that the Google algorithm chose. Very well done. So congrats! Worked great on my Pixma G2200. As another viewer commented.... the % waste ink read D=063.6 when I received the 5B00 error. Now reads 0 and is workinig fine again. Like yours, I love this "no cartridge" printer and want to nurse it along another 6 years.

[@bmart17]

I literally started my car and was letting it warm up when i decided to try one last video to get my pixma G1200 to stop giving me this error. You fixed it and probabaly saved me a few bills. Thanks so much!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Happy to help 😃

[@robertlucas9804]

I cleaned my pads because i had a 5B00 error, the counter reset worked on my PIXMA G3000 and operates like new. Thanks for providing this outstanding video.

[@DalePeterson-r2t]

Great help & thank you! For anyone struggling to get it into maintenance mode, I had to do a hard reset (unplug machine while on) before attempting to enter maintenance. This machine absolutely would not go into "Maintenance Mode" just from holding "Stop" then holding "Power". Did hard reset, plugged back in, held "Stop" then held "Power"...and so on. Worked perfectly after that!

[@RONNIEPERRYII]

Watched one video and the dude said the printer couldn't be fixed. Glad I found you!

[@thecollegepicker]

Good work 🤝

[@cottenkerry]

5B00 error waste counter reset on PIXMA G6020 worked like a charm. Thanks for providing this.

[@scottputnam2323]

Wow! Thank you so much. I have a Cannon Pixma G3200, went printer shopping today, then decided to check out KZbin for a fix and luckily found your video. You saved me some big cheddar, thank you! 👊

[@athaliecrouch3189]

A very heartfelt thank you!! In the wee hours of the morning, the printer wouldn't print with proper colour so I topped up all the tanks and cleaned the heads .... but after that - just a symphony of error lights flashing at me, and no print - Grrr!!! Checked the usual - no apparent problem yet still no print. Your video was so very useful, and even though my D = 063.6, I was finally able to get the printer out of service mode and use it again normally. Again, Thank you very much from Brisbane Ausralia, the video was an enormous help to me! 😁💐

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome

[@OlivierBerdoyes]

You rock, man, great job, clear video and directions. Bought replacement waste ink pads off the web, replaced the saturated ones (super easy) and was struggling to reset the printer until I found your video. All good now, back in business for a few more years, suck it Canon! Thxs again.

[@theOTT932]

This is the most simplest video to solve this issue by far. Thank you.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome

[@jimfacteau4553]

by far the simpliest, best description and fix for the 5B00 error code

[@PeterBarnett-ht5ei]

This was about the 3rd video I tried and the only one that worked! My G3501 now works again and I don't have to buy a new printer. Thank you very much.

[@MedprefixMedprefix]

Thank you so much our printer hasn't been working for months but I just followed your video and is now working perfectly fine. Thank you so so much.

[@philipdewey7475]

Worked 1st time & only video showing how to fix the exact problem I was having with my Canon G1200. Numerous others showed how to remove, clean & replace saturated ink pads but none addressed how to reset the ink pad stats thus my printer was still a brick. This was the only video that gave instructions how to reset saturation % to "0" thus allowing the printer to return to normal service. Canon's solution was to purchase a new G1220 for $200. Thx!!!

[@thecollegepicker]

Wow, canons solutions sucks. Happy to help

[@richc.3901]

I have a Canon Pixma G3202 printer and this process worked! Thank You!!!!! I do want to note I had to have the printer print aout a new report the 1st time I did not do that and it went back into error mode, so I had to go back thru and after the printer printed d 0000 I had to then print a report! The 1st time I did not do this and the printer still thought the over flow was full. Make sure you print another report after the printer prints the d 0000 level page.

[@PaulHironaka-f3e]

Excellent video, following your instructions and steps were easy to understand. I was easily able to reset my Canon G3200 printer 5B00 error code. Before watching your video, I spend hours looking for answers my printers 5B00 error code. Unlike other videos you not only explained what to do, but also why we need to follow your instructions. Thank You !!!

[@LauraKeyser-e9i]

Awesome video. Worked perfectly on my Canon G4210. Thank you for solving my problem!!

[@BiancaSnider]

WhooHooo!!!!! Worked!!! OMG thank you!!!! Pixma G3202 Awesome easy directions!!! We were so frustrated. This was fantastic!

[@SyltrieAl-Harir]

This is a life savior. I almost send the printer to the technician until I gave myself another shot to try on my own after a week.

[@bluesnut49]

You saved the day for me once again with your clear and excellent instructional video! It worked perfectly on my G4210! Thank you so very much!

[@hamidahamin9324]

Thank you ,it works for my pixma E460 printer.Great help

[@irisborders5293]

I have a G4210 and this worked perfectly except I had to press power (hold it down) and then press reset 5 times. My colors were not printing well so I did maintenance to deep clean, nozzle check, etc. Then came 5B00. Drove me nuts until I found your video. Thank you!

[@katiebender775]

This worked for me THANK YOU!

[@susandickerson847]

Thank you. I have a G4210 also and this worked. so thank you! Did you change the ink pad sponges that collect the flushed ink? I did and hope they work.

[@kathyvowell4740]

Thank you for the fix!! The instruction missing in other's videos was to have paper in the printer.

[@georgehodges6342]

Thank you soooo much!!!! I have a Canon G3200 which had the error code and I have cured it thanks to you!!!! Great video!!!

Thank you mate I did what you told and my printer is back to work now. Many thanks

[@goodheadnigel]

Thankyou so much. My Cannon G3501 pack up withthe 5b00 error. Just the ink pads and they were full of ink. Still whenever I turned it on kept flashing 7 times green & amber. So glad I found your video. Going to get a waste tank to try and bypass the ink pads and go straight in the bottle. Thankyou

[@ReneInauen]

Good stuff. Very professional. Worked with my G4600. Thank you

[@lisateague-robe149]

BRILLIANT! Worked well for Canon G4600 Pixma. Many thanks . My printer is now printing better than it has in ages, Crystal clear text and bright colours.

[@deborahwhite9331]

Yes!!!!!! Thank you for this video, yours was the only one that actually did it the right way. It worked. I would not have been able to use the printer again if you did not show us the right way to reset it.

[@stevenraphael5133]

WOW what a wonderful breakthrough. It worked on a PIXIMA 922 (my 5th such printer) The error code was B200 which was equivalent to last rights. Anyway, your power up then 5 stop presses cleared it up. It ran a very lengthy cleaning then printed flawlessly. Thanks again!

[@lisa2270]

Canon G 3600 - Worked perfectly after trying many different similar 'fixes' online. Slight variations of yours. With how many times to push the buttons. Thank you so much, I freakin love you. Edit: you earned your new subscriber with me. I owe you.

[@pallasmith3918]

I have a G4510 and this worked for me, although to put the model into service mode I had to press the reset/power buttons slightly differently. Instead of holding down reset, you don't to begin with! You press power (hold it down) and then press reset 5 times. That did the job.

[@bill7853]

You are 100% right .. I had no luck with the above procedure until I found your helpful comment. Thank you so much for making the effort to do so . The procedure removed the 5B00 error but print was blank . I will next pull the pads out and clean/ dry. Mine was also the G4510.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have the G4411 and it definitely does not go into Service Mode according to the video but as per your instructions I was able to stop banging my head against the wall! You legend you!

[@kellendustries]

Thanks for posting this, I have the exact same printer and, so far, I cannot get this fix to work. I have tried everything and the PRINTER will NOT enter service mode! I've tried unplugging/replugging, holding the buttons, taking the paper out, and no matter what once I release the STOP button while holding the POWER, only the POWER LED comes on, pressing the STOP does nothing and the printer turns on and gives me the same error - I'm losing my mind!

[@aishahhassan2343]

Thanks for info. it works for my canon G4000

[@ezralimm]

You legend. Also note, you dont need to ink flush. I do it manually with syringes to refill the cap. A standard syringe will fit the holes and you can manually suck in the ink into the tubes. Just remember that when the caps are OPEN, the ink flow is stopped (to prevent it from leaking backing into the thank while refilling).

[@thecollegepicker]

Yes you can do it that way but most people don't have the syringe handy and a built in function may be easier for them. But the syringe method would make a good video 😊

[@eojlin]
