canon mp500 problems! U071, U140 and reversed printing.

[karman.design]

Hi,

I have been having printing problems with the Pixma mp500. When I turn
on the printer, I get an error message saying that the Cyan cartridge
has a duplicate ink tank (error message U071). I follow the
instructions to check if it is correctly installed and it is.

After closing the lid, I try again and the same message. Sometimes I
would even get another cartridge with the same problem. Then I close it
again and I get the U140 problem.

What can I do?

Also when I print from, for example, Illustrator program it prints the
document from the bottom to top and the right side on the screen is
actually the left. What is happening?

Please help.

Thanks

Are these Canon carts with Canon ink. If so call Canon Tech Support.
