1) Disconnect the printer's power outlet

2) Press and hold the power button while connecting the power outlet back.

3) While still holding down the power button, press the reset button twice.(red circle with a triangle)

4) Release the power button

The printer takes about 10 seconds to show the number 0.

(at this step, i press and hold the reset button twice, each time i press and hold is about 5 seconds.
then i'm able to continue to the next step)

5) Press + to change the value from 0 to 1.

6) When this value is 1, press colour button; this will light up two leds.
One is for plain paper and the other for photo paper. At this point feed the printer with paper.

7) Press the power button twice and the printer will print a some stuff (if this page doesn't print by
itself, press the "color" button once and the test page will print). Don't worry much about the printed
material. I got some stripped lines and some numbers. I believe that my colour cartridge is clogged
which is why I got the green strips.
When you print this sheet the value in the display returns to zero.

(at this step, i have to wait for about two minutes or more then the printer automatically start print the
document mentioned.)

8 ) Open the printer cover cover (not the scanner cover) and remove the cartridges. With the printer
still open, disconnect the power outlet.

9) Close the lid and turn on the printer.

10) Refill cartridges and place them back in their nice little abode in the printer.

11) close the printer cover. Wait for 2 mins. (for my printer, i didnt wait for two minutes, the light
immediately disappeared) The amber light beside the black ink and color ink will have disappeared.
Also if you take printouts now you will no longer get the ink low warning.If you check the ink status 
it will show that the cartridge is full !!! THe ink level has been reset successfully.

Metoda prin care se reseteaza EPROM-ul si Ink Counter-ul la MP 180 este urmatoarea: 

1. Tineti apasat CANCEL/RESUME (butonul rosu) cand imprimanta e stinsa si apoi apasati ON/OFF
continuand sa tineti apasat CANCEL (5 secunde). 
2. Dati dumu' la CANCEL dar tineti in continuare ON/OFF apasat 
3. Apasati CANCEL de doua ori si apoi eliberati ON/OFF. 
4. Imprimanta va intra in meniul EPROM si va aparea pe display Canon idle (adica va aparea 0). 
5. Butonul ON/OFF trebuie sa fie aprins. 
6. Apasati CANCEL astfel:(spatiu 3 secunde intre apasari) 
- o data pentru a printa o pagina de service EPROM 
- de doua ori pentru a printa informatii despre EPROM 
- de trei ori pentru a reseta EPROM 
- de patru ori pentru a reseta cartusele 
Dupa ce alegeti una din optiuni apasati o data ON/OFF. Asteptati sa lucreze imprimanta. Cand s-a
oprit din lucru puteti inchide apasand ON/OFF o data sau de doua ori. 
Daca ati optat pentru resetarea cartuselor (CANCEL de 4 ori) ridicati capacul si scoateti cartusele. 
Porniti imprimanta iar la mesajul de eroare cartuse dati OK. (daca o sa apara, in cazul meu nu a
aparut asa ceva) 
Puneti cartusele la loc si ar trebui sa fie totul OK. 

Cu aceasta metoda am resetat EPROM la MP 140 si a functionat.
