Canon mp210 not recognizing replacement cartridge pg-50 Error 5. Is their a driver or a way of overriding the settings so that it will work properly?
I had exactly the same problem. I called the Canon helpdesk and apparently the PG-50 is not compatible with the MP210. I then bought a new PG-40 which works fine.
Bit annoying as I have wasted £35 or so on the PG-50. This is also a bit misleading from Canon as the PG-50 fits into the MP210 perfectly, and when you are looking at it on the shelf it looks like a long-life version of the PG-40.
But there doesn't seem to be any way around it that I have found. Just bite the bullet, write it off to experience and buy a new PG-40.

I have the same thing. I just put a brand new 50 cartridge into my Canon MP210 and it does not recognise it! Previously I had used a 40 but I got a 50 due to the larger capacity. I though that was the only difference between 40 and 50. Is that true? Any help would be great! - Rhys
