Have just put in new ink cartridges and the printer lights are both flashing
Hi there , if you replaced it with a new one. it is just the fault of the place of the blank ink, you should clean the place by a tissue before place the new one . if it is the old one and u refilled it, it is a different story: first you must inject 3cc of ink , no more. if you replaced it, and it is not working, you can take out and put it in several times , with each time you have to turn off and on the printer till the light offs.
second, if you put it in the place and it does not work, please hold the reset button for 10 seconds, it will work properly, hope it get benefit to all.
They call that flash codes or error codes. please count
count how many times the lights flash, here is what they mean
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 7 times consecutively (ink cartridge installed incorrectly)
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 5 times consecutively (Print Head Error)
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 4 times consecutively (Out of Ink Error)
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 3 times consecutively (Paper Jam Error / Cover Error)
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 2 times consecutively (Load Paper / Paper Feed Error)
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 16 times consecutively (This FINE Cartridge has previously been used)
Alarm / Power light flashes orange 15 times consecutively (FINE cartridge not recognized)

SOURCE: can ip1300 print with just black ink cartridge?
AS far as I know you cannot put a black cartridge in the place of a colour cartridge it has to be a colour one. Check your printer properties to see if you can set your printer to work in black only, if you can then set it to black but leave the empty colour cartridge in place. This works for my 1800. Give it a try.
