This is all a scam by canon to get you to buy more of THEIR ink cartridges. If they, or one is empty you replace them your printer will work. If you use only black (with color turned off)and fill your own black as I do follow this:
1.) Turn your printer off 2.) Hold down the reset button while pressing the on button. 3.) while still holding down the on button release the reset button then press the reset button twice. 4.) release the on button it will flash and 0 will appear in the window. then press the reset button 4 times and the on button twice.Wait and the printer will turn off. 5.) turn printer back on let it go thru it's stuff. You can now print.
1.)Turn off the printer . 2.)Press the Stop button for 2 second and hold it. 3.)Press the On button hold it and release the Stop button. 4.)Press Stop button 5 times then release together with the On button. 5.)Led skrin will blank and now reseting. 6.)Computer will detect new hardware juz ignore it. 7.)Turn off the printer then turn it On now the problem solved. I try it works ! Thx http://amintohari.com/?p=144
Realist and patsmart. It didn't work for me. I my color cartridge is empty and I don't have color turned off. Could this be the problem. How do I turn off the color. Also I don't refill my cartridges. How do I do this?
