Mine is pretty stubborn about letting go of the cartridges too. The best answer I can say is DON'T FORCE IT!

For mine, after turning the lever to unlock, I push the whole cartridge to the left slightly, then pull on the right (side with the lever)
If it doesn't let go, try turning the lever to lock it, then unlock it and try again.

I honestly don't know how I get it to release the cartridges, but it's never let one go on my first try, and it's always (eventually) let them go without forcing anything.

How to change the ink cartridge in a Canon iP1900 printer please

1•Protect your desk, printer stand or work surface by placing an old newspaper in front of or next to the printer. The newspaper will provide you with a place to work without getting ink anywhere you don't want it. It seems as though no matter how careful or neat you are, a little bit of ink always manages to escape when replacing an ink cartridge.
•2
Prepare the new ink cartridge for installation. Remove the replacement cartridge for your Canon printer from all of its packaging. You may need scissors to remove the heavy wrapper. Leave the protective orange cap or tape in place for now. Set the new cartridge aside on the newspaper.
•3
Remove the old ink cartridge from the Canon printer. With the printer on, open the front door or panel of the printer. Wait a second or two and the ink cartridge holder should move to the opening where it is accessible. If it does not move, shut the door, turn the printer off for a moment, turn it back on and try again. Lift the small lever that secures the ink cartridges within their holder. On most Canon printers, it is colored green and located on the right side of the ink cartridge holder. Gently lift the old ink cartridge out of the printer.
•4
Place the new ink cartridge in the printer. Remove the plastic cap or tape protecting the ink cartridge, being careful not to touch the black and gold "sensor" area of the cartridge. Gently but firmly push the new cartridge into the empty slot left where you removed the old ink cartridge. The label should be facing outward. You should feel the cartridge pop into place. Then push the lever back down that you lifted in Step 3. Close the printer door. Use paper towel or wet wipes to clean any ink from your hands.

How do I change the toner?

The Fax-2480c does not use toner cartridges.
This is an inkjet and so uses ink cartridges.

There are 4 cartridges, black, yellow, cyan (blue) and magenta (red). If any of these cartridges are empty, you need replace them.

This machine takes LC-51 cartridges.
You're probably out of warranty so jsut get refills... it's cheaper

I have a Brother MFC-620CN just changed the ink cartridges but the printer still says ink is empty and won't print

Hi
I have looked it up for you and what I found is.


Title:
I replaced my ink cartridge, but the LCD is still displaying "Ink Empty". What can I do?
Description: This is typically caused by an incorrect selection made during the LCD prompting after a cartridge is replaced. When an ink cartridge(s) is replaced, the LCD will ask, "Have you removed Blck? 1 Yes 2 No". This question will be asked for ALL 4 colors in sequence, regardless if the color was replaced. If "1 Yes" is NOT selected for the color(s) that was replaced, the LCD will return to "Ink Empty". Do the following to clear the message:



  1. Pull the scanner cover release lever located below the control panel and lift the top cover.

  1. After 15 seconds, re-close the top cover and then re-close the control panel cover.

  2. The LCD will then display Have you removed Blck? 1 Yes 2 No.
    The LCD will display this question for ALL 4 colors (not just the ones replaced). BE SURE to select 1 YES for each ink cartridge that was replaced.
    If 1 Yes is selected, the LCD will then display Change to new (color)? 1 Yes 2 No. Again, BE SURE to select 1 YES.
Note "Change to new (color)?" will only appear if 1 Yes is selected for "Have you removed (color)?" If 2 NO is selected for the "removed" question, the LCD will then move on to the question for the next color.

The printer does not recognize a new cartridge when I install it. Also, I think the old ink cartridge was still good.

Replacing Print Cartridge

Where the gray and blue areas of the printer meet there is a place you can lift up to reach the ink cartridges. The left side is for the color, which is larger and the right side is for the black. There is a lever on top of each. Lift up and then pull the cartridge out. Remove the protective strip on the new cartridge and place in the same way you just removed the old cartridge. Once in, push down on the lever on top. Close the computer. Follow any other instructions indicated on the readout on printer (i.e. alligning).
Don't be afraid of pulling up (at a slight angle) on the cartridges as you remove them, they do fit snuggly. The levers on top fit firmly to make sure the cartridges are seated properly. They won't go down if the cartridge is not in place.
