I read that cl-41 and cl-51 were the same ink cartridge but the cl-51 held more ink so i bought some cl-51s and 50s online and of course the computer won't recognize them and i was just wondering if i can just download a driver to get it to recognize it or do i have to buy another printer. My printer is a canon mp210 If you have any suggestions just email them to [email protected] Thanks
SOURCE: CL 51 Cartridge for IP1600
Canon's compatibility list says that the IP1600 will only take the low yield cartridges. The only way you could use a high yield one is if you buy a compatible (non genuine) cartridge and these are only the low yield cartridges filled to high yield levels anyway which is why it will work.
Good luck.
Please rate my advice, good or bad.

Hi. This might be stating the obvious, but try cleaning the contacts in the printer and on the cartridge with isopropal alcohol. I have a Canon Pixma MP520 which I have had for most of this year now, and it works fine. I am not sure if I will be buying another Canon printer after the problems I have just read on FixYa though! Another thing you might try is carefully bending the contacts on the printer that touch the copper strips on the cartridge to ensure they touch properly. I have not looked too closely at mine, but I presume there must be copper contacts of some sort that are spring loaded, which press up against the contacts on the cartridge when it is installed. Hope that helps.

Nope! Canon played a little nasty on re-fillers and made these cartridge virtually un-fillable. Not that they can't be refilled, they can. They just won't be recognized in your machine.
They have done a couple of strange things with the software and the cartridge.
1. Software writes to the cartridge to actually marry it to the machine. This encodes id numbers on the cartridge so that another machine cannot use the cartridge.
2. They have placed a "fuse" of some type in the cartridge which is actually "blown" when the "out of ink" message is displayed. This renders the cartridge un-usuable for another cycle.
I like the Canon product. Just not these particular ones. The ones that take cartridges 30/31/40/41/50/51. I have seen too many of them come into my shop for repairs after barely 2 years of use. They are un-repairable regardless of their issues.
I suggest you look at a different Canon product, one that takes the individual ink tank cartridge PG-5 and CL-8 series. These are much better machines and the printer itself will last longer.
Just be aware that you will have an added cost in the print head which is a consumable that will need to be replaced every 3 years or so!
