My slightly more than one year old Canon suddenly acted up today when
printing a few photos. I'm using OEM cartridges. I get a message there's
a cartridge error, that a cartridge needs to be changed. I opened the
"hood" and the black photo cartridge had no red light, the others were all
lit up. I ejected the cartridge, reseated it and it lit up red again. I
go to print and same error message and the light was off again. The
cartridge is more than two thirds full!

I put in a fresh new cartridge with a good chip and the same thing happens
with the new cartridge. Anyone knows what gives? Have tried it on
another computer with the same non-functioning result. My printer is
suddenly a paperweight. Thanks, Canon, for putting in these stupid,
troublesome chips that are far, far more trouble than they are worth.
Actually, there is no benefit, rhyme or reason for them being there in the
first place. This kind of thing NEVER happed with my previous Canon
printers that were chip-less. Unbelievable! Canon is going to get an
earful from me tomorrow!

Thanks for any useful comments.

Are you saying it was filled with Canon ink from the factory?

I'm saying I'm using OEM Canon cartridges. A new cartridge with a
"fresh" chip was also not recognized.

You answer is either unclear or evasive. It appears that you are not using genuine Canon OEM ink and cartridges filled at the factory and that is probably why you are having the issues.&nbsp; It seems more than obvious that including the time spent that going out to Staples, Costco or some similar store and getting a set of Canon ink would be cheaper and better for you.

Yes, I'm familiar with Measekite. His entire field of expertise lies
in asking what type of cartridges one uses - even when you've already
told him.

Since you need a personal explanation let me give one to you. There are
genuine brand new carts and in Canon's case they are factory filled with
Canon ink. Then there are those who want to screw the system and reuse
a real OEM cart (and sometimes screw with the chip) and refill it with
crap ink where they do not even know what it is. These are no longer
genuine OEM carts. The poster did not say if he is using genuine brand
new Canon ink carts. The only way you can get a genuine brand new ink
Cart is to buy one filled with real Canon ink.

If that is not the case then what needs to be done to solve the problem
is what I originally suggested.

If you stretch you mind I bit I am sure you will see the light.

When I buy a printer at the store, asking if the cartridges were "filled
with Canon ink from the factory" doesn't usually spring to my lips.
I automatically assume Canon has them made and filled by an outside source
in an ink factory and not in a noodle shop.
