My opinion canon Pixma iP 1980 is new version of Canon Pixma iP 1880 so the reset methode for canon iP 1880 can be applied to Reset Canon iP1980. I also tested using reset methode for Canon iP1700 on it’s work on several Printer Canon iP1900 series.
For permanent reset after doing the manual reset you must using software restter. Software resetter such as iPtool and general tool for canon iP 1800 can be used to reset waste ink counter on the Canon iP1980 and Canon iP1900 series. To reset Waste Ink Tank canon iP1980 or iP1900 series follow this steps:

Okey, Tips Manual Reset from Dagreyt to Reset Canon iP1980 works
Thank you!
thanks . . .
worked 100%.
tip: to win7 x64 based machine use compatibility and run the general tool as win xp application and as administrator.
further, you may have to undergo process 1 (manual) first then without turning – off the printer, proceed with process 2 (General Tool)
Manual reset from Dagreyt works perfectly.
Thanks a lot…
