Toward the bottom of the page, download the latest version of WIC for your OS.The printer will now be in Service Mode.While still holding down the Power button, push the Stop button five times.While holding down the Stop button, hold down the Power button.The printer doesn’t ship with one, you’ll have to buy or borrow this. Ensure the printer is connected to the computer with a USB cable specifically for printers.I am not a frequent user of this forum, but it is did you ever find a solution for this? I had this occur yesterday and also use a Mac, and was able to solve it using a Mac-specific tool. So I deceided to share with others that are faced with saying good-bye to their favorite Canon printer due to the 5B00 error. I noticed that the list of printer models that this tool works on is quite lengthy and includes the Gxxxxx series, MXxxxx series, iPxxxx series, MGxxxx series, and the MP series. I purchased the ST-V5105 Service Tool from for $30 and it worked great. All they would have to do is provide the above websites, and say use at your own risk. they just want to sell you a new model, no interest in supporting their customers that have older models. What they should do is for printer models they drop, they should make the Service Tools available. And they no longer have service centers you can send your printer to. But Canon will not share these or even acknowledge they exist. What was madening, is that Canon produces a Service Tool for every printer they make. They did not have a solution, other than giving me $19.99 off on a new printer. there are a couple of pretty good websites out there that provide the soluton for resetting the ink absorber counter and clearing the 5B00 error message. I like the printer because it is one of the better ones that Canon created. A great printer that has no Canon support any longer, like many other models. At least I could then see if it would be an absolute problem only repaired by a servicing. I'd almost rather just go to Fedex/Kinkos and print things, since I figure I've paid about a dollar a page (I don't print much).Īny help on attempting a hard factory type reset (assuming there exists such an option) would be much appreciated. Okay, I may have to send it in, though it's out of warranty, but really would prefer not to invest $ into shipping and repair annd return shipping. I've read some methods to reset it, annd I tried these and unplugging, etc., but it will not exit the error lights mode. Really, it has not been a problem before attempting to clean. The error codes 5B00 or B501 say I need to send it in for service. It exhibits the series of 7 flashing lights alternating between On and Alarm lamps. Yesterday I printed something out and found the color inks faded so tried running a deep cleaning, but instead of the procedure, it went into an error mode that I am unable to extricate it from.
