Been busy for a few days, so didn't get a chance to get back here.
But
need to ask about your message below.

Do y ou mean I could fix the problem of the waste ink absorber
This part is confusing. I got Ip1500GeneralTool sent to me as I
mentioned before,
but none of the steps you mention above were told for me to do. My
understaning is just to run
the executable file and a screen comes up asking your USB Port, and
I am
not sure exactly what to put there. When I check printer details for
port it says MPUSBPRN01, so I don't know
if I am supposed to put in 01 or 1 . I tried both and the next step
was
to press "Main" and "Platen" and that should be all, but when I
click on
either Main or Platen, nothing at all happens. So it looks like it
didn't work.
I am not sure when pressing Main and Platen, if theprinter should be
on.
When I put the printer on, the green button is flashing, then it
turns
to orange flashing, then if I was to print something, the message
about
waste ink absorber comes up, press Resume and when I press Resume, I
can
print something. After that, I can print and the error message
doesn't
come up again. So where do those keystrokes above come in?

Don't keep printing! From what I've read, once the warning comes up
you can
still print, but you should do the reset ASAP. If you don't do the
reset
and keep printing the printer then goes into a mode where you can't
print
and also can't do the reset. That info comes from several postings
I've
seen and not from my own experience.

I hven't been printing. I am still trying to reset the printer. As far
as what I've been told, when the printer is properly reset, the warning
does not come up on the screen. It goes away. When I thought I was
resetting the printer (which hasn't worked so far, maybe I am doing
something wrong), I had to print something to see if the message goes
away, for that would mean the reset worked.
