known problem?

You can tell by the number of flashes if it is the waste ink tank (actuallyHerb Stein said:How many flashes, or does it just flash constantly? Does it flash a
different colour, i.e. orange instead of green?
If I had to GUESS, based on the age of this printer, the waste ink
reservoir is probably full, or nearly so. If this is the problem, you
can service this yourself if you want to try. Google "i550 waste tank
reset". I'd also disassemble the printer to get to the waste ink pads
in the bottom, rinse them out, dry them out, and reinstall them so
they can absorb waste ink once more. Otherwise you may get an
overflow of waste ink on your desk one day. But confirm this first,
through the number of flashes.
Otherwise, try and get a Canon i550 service manual. It does contain
all trouble and maintenance codes, plus a parts list. Parts are
available online if you look around. Try

I appreciate the input. I think, based on the age and replacement cost, I
will pitch it.
