Canon PIXMAR MP150 E5 problem

I just brought a new black ink cartridge for my printer(mp150).
But after i insert that new cartridge, my printer repeatedly flash "E5".
I tried reinserting the cartridge but the problem were still there.
I tried using MPTool it doesn't work and at the same times it shows that i have full black ink.

Are there any solution for this problem?
I can't even print anything.
(I only insert 1 cartridge in my printer which is black)

You will need to install your color cartridge also.
Both cartridges must be installed for the printer to print.

My canon pixma mp150 is showing error 5?

E5 is saying that ink is not installed, generic cartridges, or not installed properly, If all those are good you could have a defective carriage assembly and need shop work.

Canon MP150 Flashing E5E5E5........

The E5 error is indeed an error regarding the print cartridges. Are you using original Canon ink. If not then the brand you are using may not be compatible. I would do an eeprom reset and see if that helps. Service manual here, will show you how:
