This Canon ink tanks has a memory chip.Try clean this chip with piece of cotton and some alcohol.Clean the contacts on the print head too.Sometimes happen this chip going to fail and printer not recognize it respectively not recognized and ink cartridge.In worst case your print head may be defective.

try removing the black cartridge and with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol clean the cartridge where the ink is. Re-insert and clean the heads.

No, the larger cartridge is used for text printing only.

The smaller cartridge is used to add black to images instead of using the color ink to make a composite black.

I simply removed programme that was not responding and downloaded it again from the Canon website here in New Zealand. Seemed to correct all problems.

Thanks for your interest.

The message means you need a new printhead, they do wear out. The part # is QY6-0075-000

have you tried tapping control + P at the same time to print ?

The only fix for that is to replace the carriage assembly, the part is only about $30.00 but it should be a shop repair. If the gold pin is just bent, you might try and straighten it, carefully though, they break easy.

unplug power cord for 15 minutes and it should reset.

Hi,
For taking only black & white print you can do either of the following tasks :

1 > Before taking print please goto PRINTER PROPERTIES and then go to COLOR tab and then choose GRAY SCALE. Then save these settings and you will have black & white prints then.

2 > If you finds above method difficult then just simply remove the color ink cartridge from printer and hence you will get b/w print only.

An ink tank which has once been empty is
installed. Replace the applicable ink tank with
a new one.
Printing with a once-empty or refilled ink
tank can damage the print head.
If printing is continued without replacing the
refilled ink tank, press the Stop/Reset button
for 5 sec. or longer to record the use of a
refilled ink tank.

You can't reset the ink level on all Canon Pixma printers.You need to turn off the function on printer to show the ink level.On most printers this happen with push resume button and hold it for 5 seconds.
The printer shows empty cartridges but it will printing.

Regrettably, scanning over bluetooth is not possible. Both theoretically and practically. Scanning requires huge amount of data packets to transmitted that is not possible over bluetooth.
