same exact problem here
just bought off newegg 4 months ago.
it says magenta is low, its not, its almost full.
Reset printer by pulling power, reseated ink tanks, no luck.
This is the ink that came with the printer.
Dear tom19511!
Please write down what canon says, because I tried to find answer on that page you suggest, but the page isn't working, because "KnowledgeBase is temporarly not available".
Thanks
Power light flashes 15-16 times and when you open the cover the magenta cartridge is not lit. Removed cartridge and it was full of ink. replaced cartridge and light came on. Closed cover and power light flashed 15-16 times. tried powering down but same result. Manual says replace cartridge or disable sensor function. Have not tried disable sensor yet.
Bought new iP4300 24 Aug 07.
2 Oct 07, after printing a few dozen pages total from new, 15 flashes & big black cartridge "not recognized" & no LED.
This is new original cartridge supplied with printer & contacts etc never fingered.
Removing & reinstalling sometimes worked but finally not.
Canon changed for new printer under guarantee 10 Oct 07.
Second printer 15 flashes 19 Nov 07 & blue cartridge not recognized & no LED.
Again this was new Canon cartridge supplied with new printer & contacts not fingered. Cartridge hardly used.
Remove & reinstall cleared problem one time.
22 Oct 07 - 15 flashes & blue cartridge again.
Remove & reinstall cleared problem so far...
Contacted Canon for help & am waiting for their reply.
Yes I am having the same problem. I bought the 4500 pixma in September. It was an Apple incentive with iMac purchase. I have repeatedly removed the magenta cart and replaced it. The light illuminates again once I do this, but then I gat the same empty tank error all over again. It really blows that it will not work for B&W only, until this can be solved.
I have the same exact problem. It has happened on both black cartridges and the yellow one.
I hate this printer. My page black is never recognized. What a waste of money!
I have the same problem with yellow. Have been using it for about a month seldomly and once in a while got the ink tank error message. I click the tank back in so the light goes on but in a second it's out again. Brand new cartridges and everything! Came with the printer so they shouldn't be the wrong model. Now I've been getting the error every single time and NOTHING HELPS. Not reset, replace, anything. It's completely useless.
More specifically, I have a Mac and am getting Error number: 1412. Ink tank errors have occured.
Following my last post - Canon told me to remove & replace the cartridges & the head, but this did not work. I took the printer back to the shop who sent it to Canon. Canon just sent me another new one (number 3 now...).
So far it works fine, but for how long?
I'm having the same trouble with the yellow. I've only had this printer a couple of months. It flashes 15 times. I open the top, take the yellow tank out, have NEVER touched the chip. Snapped it back in. I got it to work one more time, and now it doesn't work at all. The yellow is still completely full of ink. It's the ink that came with the printer. So will it work if I buy a brand new yellow ink tank? Or is it a problem with the printer itself? I bought this after doing a lot of research and only heard raves about it....and now this. Any suggestions?
Yes, same problem here with magenta cartridge. I also had this happen with the black cartridge. The cartridges are installed correctly, I have tried powering down/unplugging USB. Magenta cartridge ink is full.
I have the same problem only with the black (BK) cartridge. The printer and the ink tanks are brand new and the ink cartridge in question is full.
printer fault display says cartridge not recognised-always yellow-flashing-please replace cartidge not lit?Taken yellow out and placed other single cartridge in place,they will light up-but tried yellow in all other cartridge slots-will always flash?appears to be a general fault with yellow? help please? printer only 6 weeks old-plenty of ink in yellow cartridge?.
I am having a hard time getting the ink cartridges back into the printer.
changed ink cartridges and now printer screen says "cover is open" and will not do anything.
Please help Orange light flashes 5 times, all the tanks are full but the red LED on each tank in lite. When powering up the ink carriage moves along to clean head ok but will not print. Is this a worn head?
