While resetting the counter solves the software error, you must physically address the ink pads.
If the counter says the pads are full, they are likely saturated with wet ink. Resetting the counter without cleaning or replacing the pads will result in ink eventually overflowing inside your printer, causing a mess and potentially damaging the electronics.
Version V5610 supports specific Canon PIXMA and MAXIFY models (e.g., TS, TR, MG series).
For technically inclined users, some Canon models allow physical access to the EEPROM via an SPI programmer (e.g., CH341A). This requires soldering or pogo pins, reading the EEPROM dump, manually editing the waste ink counter offset, and rewriting the data. This is complex and model-specific but completely avoids untrusted software.
