Understand the P07 service error
P07 is the older display form of the waste ink absorber full condition. It requires a service reset.
01 · Identify — does this match what you see?
- “P07” on a two-digit display
- Printer will not accept jobs
02 · Resolve — follow in order
- 1
Power the printer off and back on to confirm the code is persistent.
- 2
Record the model number and approximate page count.
- 3
Contact a Canon service centre and ask for an absorber replacement and counter reset.
- 4
Ask for the quote before authorising work — on entry-level models a new printer may cost less.
- 5
If you continue using the printer, place it on a tray; a saturated absorber can leak.
Pro tip
Counter resets found online often skip the physical pad replacement, which is the part that actually overflows.
