Hi
As suggested thought I would introduce myself.
AS I expect most do, I stumbled on this web site, via a Google search, whilst trying to find the answer to a problem.
I like forums and subscribe to a few on various subjects, so hope this will also be another 'must view' and not TOO addictive.
I am a Senior Surfer, with a built to order 3rd PC. AMP Sempron. A new Canon Pixma MP500 printer scanner - not got used to that yet, although have successfully injected a black cartridge with new ink - I thought I was getting a printer which would have cheaper cartridges than my Lexmark, but find that MP500's don't have 'compatibles' - whys that?!!
I have just got through - well nearly- the transfer of ISP from wanadoo to Sky Broadband - another learning experience to share; using a Yahoo email address now finally linked to Outlook ( from OE - another learning exercise). Hence a problem with an error message 623 - more annoying than a major heartache.
Living in Essex UK (is this a UK or US forum?) with wife Jean - am whats called an empty nester - with 2 sons and 4 grand-kids off the home scene although nearby.
so
hello to all

Hello from another Ian here

It doesn't seem possible to get them for your printer as it most likely has an onboard chip to try and combat using cheap compatibles. You can probably refill them a good few times though and still have success

Tis indeed a UK Site - but all kinds and creeds welcome!
(Crunching appreciated, but not mandatory!)

Feckit - do your thang!

Hi
Yes I found that they had a chip.
I have since found that Jtec do some compatibles/replacements but have never found them in any shops and they dont do mail order.
Perhaps its a question of waiting until a supply of empty cartridges are sent back.
I did find on a US forum a comment that ip4200, 5200, 5200R 5000 & MPpixma 530 800 800R 830 950 & ix 4000 & 6600 D were compatible but not sure if all these are in UK as well and I cannot go round PC World and open up the boxes!!!!!
Thanks for the welcome.
(BTW I cannot get this sites spell check to work so have fallen back on the Google one
