Why is only the stop button working?

Welcome to Fixya.

Please try the following steps to resolve this problem - this same procedure worked for my colleague :

• Power off printer
• Hold down STOP/RESET button then Press and Hold down Power button
• Keep Power button down and Release STOP/RESET button
• Push STOP/RESET button twice
• let go of power button
• Wait 20-30 seconds - my display shows "canon Idle"
• Then Push STOP/RESET button four times
• Push Power button twice
• Power off (shut printer down)
• Wait for at least 5 seconds and power it back on

This should do the trick and will get you printing again in no time.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Hi you can try this may work.

In service mode.
Put Stop/reset 4 times orange => reset waste ink.
Put stop/reset 8 times orange => set level ink.

And try this.

1) With the printer powered off but connected to a power source, press the Power button while pressing and holding
the Stop/ Reset button.
2) When the Power is lit, press the Stop/Reset button two times while pressing and holding the Power button.

For me, it worked when I did this:
1) With the printer powered off but connected to a power source, press and hold the Stop/Reset button for 4-5 seconds.
2) Without letting go of the Stop/Reset button, press and hold the Power button. Then, press the Stop/Reset button two times without letting go of the Power button.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

you can get a programable remote to get around that.

Power off, power on? Unplug the phone line?

1. Turn off printer.2. retaining button Stop/Reset (red triangle in the circle) press button POWER - indicator it will light up with green color.
3. let go button Stop/Reset, continuing to hold POWER.
4. press button Stop/Reset 2 times, while holding POWER button, after which you will let go all buttons.
5. when indicator is lit BY Solid GREEN - press Stop/Reset 4 times! (this is the key)
6.turn off printer by POWER button, then turn on. 
7. You should be set. If it didn't work, try it again, slowly. It WILL work!

1) With the printer powered off but connected to a power source, press the Power button while pressing and holding the Stop/ Reset button.
2) When the Power LED is lit, press the Stop/Reset button two times while pressing and holding the Power button.
3) When releasing the Power button and the Stop / Reset button (regardless of order), the printer will move into a service mode. (Waiting for menu selection)
4) When the LED lights in green, press the Stop/Reset button 4 times.

The above will get you to Service Mode (and clear the Waste Ink Counter if you wish) and is supposed to work for MP160 also.
Caution if your waste ink pad is full you could overflow if ignored.

Some of the new carts reportedly have fuses which blow if the ink gets too low, denying any further refilling.

To use refills, you will probably have to turn off your Status Monitor.
Go to your printer's Maintenance section.
