Welcome to Fixya

Look like the printer is not detecting the cartrigde. Remove the color cartridge that's blinking, rub a pencil eraser across the four gold contacts to clean them, then reinsert. Try to use a quality eraser such as magic rub.

Thank you for using Fixya!

Buy then at any office store.

Maybe the ink cartrigde is running out. Get sure that the cartrigde has enough ink, if it has not then reload it. If it has enough ink, then review that the printhead be clean, (you could clean it by using Isopropyl alcohol), then you can use the tools included in printer software to align or maintain cartrigdes. If this does not fix the problem, then replace the cartrigde.

Did you remove the protective blue tape from the cartridge bottom, if please clean the cartridge Take a warm, damp paper towel or napkin and gently clean the bottom of the car where ink comes repeat the same process with dry paper towel and try to print , if you still have the problem you can contact lexmark and get the cart replaced with a new one as the cart comes with 6 months warranty.......

I posted the original problem. Although the cartridge was genuine I had taken it out and reinserted it as I wasn't sure I had loaded it correctly the first time. Advice from my local retailer was that this was a mistake. Canon PIXMA printers no longer recognise a cartridge once it has been removed. Solution was another new cartridge which I shan't remove until it's empty. When this second cartidge is empty I shall try the first cartridge again as it is still full and unused. It has yet to print anything! Why Canon's helpdesk couldn't help is a mystery. I conclude that Canon's printer management systems are unfriendly to users. They are friendly only to Canon. I hope my experience will help others especially those considering buying a Canon printer. dudbob
