Canon actively attempts to patch vulnerabilities that allow Service Tools to function. Newer printer models (and newer firmware updates) often require updated versions of the Service Tool (e.g., Service Tool v3600 or v4905). This creates a cat-and-mouse dynamic similar to the jailbreaking of smartphones. Third-party developers must reverse-engineer the handshake protocols to create working resetters for new firmware iterations.

Introduction The Canon G2010 is a popular refillable-ink (G-series) inkjet printer known for low running costs. A “resetter” (also called a service tool or waste ink counter reset utility) is a small piece of software or hardware used to reset the printer’s internal counters and status flags so the device resumes printing after the printer reports errors such as “Waste Ink Absorber is Almost Full,” “Ink Absorber Full,” or when ink-level-related blocks occur. This essay explains what a resetter does, common scenarios where people use it, how it’s used, legal and warranty considerations, safety and privacy risks, and safer alternatives.

Before you run any software resetter, you must address the physical issue. The "Waste Ink Absorber" is a physical pad inside the printer that soaks up ink used during cleaning cycles.
