After Canon G2010 has printed a lot of pages, its users tend to encounter the error P07 and power and error light is flashing (blinking), which stops them from printing any new documents. This error is usually characterized by its users as a hardware related issue which requires the assistance of a service engineer, but this error can be easily fixed at home if you follow the right steps. Therefore, in this guide, we will describe a quick and easy solution of how to fix Canon G2010 error P07.
What Causes Canon G2010 Error P07?
Most users encounter error P07 on Canon G2010 printer after they have printed a lot of pages with their printer. This error is directly related to the flow of ink on their printer. The G2010 printer from Canon has integrated ink tanks, which makes the flow of ink highly abundant. Therefore, after printing a high volume of pages the ink in this printer starts to overflow, but the printer is unable to rectify this problem by itself, thus, it shows the error P07 and stops printing.
When you see P07 error code on your Canon printer, then you should know that it’s due to ink overflow issues. However, there is nothing to worry because your printer already has a system which you can use to clean the excess ink. Since, your printer can’t execute that system by itself, you will have to operate that system manually and once you do that properly, then you will be able to solve the Canon G2010 error P07. The clean-up process is easy to operate and anyone can do it at their home. We will describe the complete process below.

- The ‘Green’ power led will start blinking, wait for it to stop blinking before you move to the next step.

- That’s it, your printer has cleaned itself. Press the ‘Power’ button to switch-off the printer and wait for a few seconds. Doing this will bring your printer out of the repair mode.
- Press the ‘Power’ button on your printer control panel to switch-on your printer.
- Now, you will see a ‘Drop’ sign on the printer display screen. This drop sign is a confirmation that your printer is encountering ink overflow problem. The number ‘0’ signifies that the printer has zero documents on the print queue.
- Press the ‘Black’ button near the Start to give the print command to your printer.
- ‘Green’ led of Power button will start to blink. Again your printer is performing the cleaning which is required for the printing to begin. Wait for the process to complete.

- Switch-on the printer by pressing the ‘Power’ button.
- After printer reboots, press the ‘Test page’ button, then the ‘Black’ button to give the print command.

Does this work on Canon MP287 P07 problem? if not can you help please ….
Yes, it should work, please try it and let me know.
I m testing now but stucked at step 4 – because the green power led does not stop blinking (does not enter repair mode). Tried second time still the same. The screen also showing blinking P07.
Maybe the M287 will take different steps to fix this issue. Try power draining your printer to fix the issue. Here’s how to power drain: https://www.freeprinterdriverdownload.org/power-drain-printer/
