Canon Pixma Problems...

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help me out... I have a Canon Pixma mp160 which won't print because it doesn't recognise my colour ink cartridge (which is "CL51" - which, according to the troubleshooting IS compatible.) I have reinserted the cartridge several times but it still doesn't work!
Can anyone make any suggestions???

When inserting the cartridge press down firmly on the top front of the cartridge....There are electronic contacts that need to meet with the printer...

Note; Make sure if you are purchasing a "third Party Cartridge, that you don;t need to take the chip off your old cartridge.

If so, you'll also have to do a reset.

Canon mp160

First step I would try is; unplug printer usb cable, then power down printer, reconnect usb cable to printer, power printer back on. If all this fails then lets try one other possible fix. Go to start select RUN & type services.msc, ok now you should have a services window that popped up. On the right hand side locate "Printer Spool" and right click on it, then select "Restart". this should refresh your printer spool. Hope this was helpful.
