From: zakezuke on 14 Apr 2006 01:11 > MPUSBPRN01. What does the MP at the beginning of the USB port mean? MP is a class of canon printers... at one time I think it ment multipass, but it refers to the multifuctionals of canon. I assume your printer shared a rom with a model with a scanner onboard, so rather than make two seperate pieces of software for two units with identical printers, I "suspect" they either used the same software, or perhaps even the same main board. This way, using one board, they can slap it in a multi fuctional, tell it it's a fax scanner copier. Or slap it in just a printer say tell it it's just a printer. More likely they used system boards from two or more different models, hince the difference between the procedures in doing elementary operations such as reset the damn diaper. One perhaps from the ip1000 and another perhaps from the mp130. This is just a guess, i've not actually met any of these units.

No harm can be done. Thanks Burt, I vaguely recollect something like that with the previous series, well worth a try. Tony

No harm can be done. > Thanks Burt, I vaguely recollect something like that with the previous series, > well worth a try. > Tony But since my printer is going back to Canon after I get the refurb one, maybe a Canon tech will want to confirm what I said is true - (that I get an error message about the ink absorbers being almost full), and wonder why I wanted a refurb if mine seems ok (if the reset worked of course) - they wouldn't know it was reset but wouldn't see the error message that is supposed to be there..
