All canon printers will let the user use remanufactured or refilled cartridges. But there is a trick required by the user to reset or bypass the error that will come up. Please note, the error may not come up right away when a cartridge is installed.
So first you simply install the cartridge into the printer as normal, go ahead and print something and when the time comes a window will popup and you must follow the instructions. Stop, DO NOT CANCEL the print job. Usually at this point most people will read the first part and automatically click the ‘OK’ or ‘Cancel’, DO NOT CLICK ‘OK’ or ‘Cancel’. If you keep reading the instructions it will tell you that if you want to continue you must press and hold a button on your printer for a few seconds. Usually but not always is the “Stop/Reset” button, simply press and hold this button for up to 10-15 seconds. Also remember if you change both cartridges you will need to repeat the same procedure again. So 2 times. Your printer will sound like it doing something, that’s it.
