OK ppl i found the answer to this problem. i love my canon MP250 printer. ink levels gets released if you do this. once your ink level runs out and you get the warning that ink is empty. and your only option is to cancel printing. do this: hold down your reset button for 5 or more seconds. this will releas your pc from detectiong ink levels for that cartrige. same works for black and color cartrige. you wont get any ink levels but hey you can refill the cartriges and print. just watch your print outs for ink thats getting finished. and thats it. if you read your warning message that your PC gives you for a empty cartrige it actually explains what i just said. if any one knows how to reset the software to show you how much ink is in the refilled cartrige. please let me know. JUST BY THE WAY MPTOOL DOES NOT WORK FOR CANON MP250. SO DONT WAIST YOUR TIME DOWNLOADING THAT SOFTWARE. please give me feed back to my answer.

How to reset canon mp250 ink cartridges? My boss asked me this the other day but I didn`t know. I can`t seem to get this info.

There is one thing that should be added here. Remember to fill / have full/ both black and color cartiridges at the same time if you wan to reset your mp250:-)

i have a quwstion, if the color ink is empty, does the printer print in gray scale?

please help me, I might have a different software for my mp250, as i bought it in romania. and the cancelling procedure doesn`t work for me. so, maybe smebody knows how I can do the resseting in another way?? tnx

yea i agree what you said Mr. Young. just press the Stop/Reset botton that`s all guys nothing to worry about...............

NO grayscale uses color to print. your canon mp250 does give you the option to print using the black cartrige only. the only thing that will happen if your trying to print a photo thats im color or a color document is that the printer will pause and you`ll recieve a message telling you your printer needs color to print this document. to solve this just change the printing properties to standard print. and make sure the printer is set for black color only. thats it.
