klaus2005 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi, Let me tell you first of all that I was already many times able to get very valuable technical information out of this forum… Maybe somebody has also this time a solution to my “problem”! I bought a Canon MP 150 multifunctional printer. It is almost impossible to refill the ink-cartridges. If I do so the printer just simply “wont-print”! The “empty-ink-indicator-lights” continue to blink even after I refilled the cartridges and cleaned them. Is there a way to “bypass” the “recognition software” (chips) installed on one side of the ink-cartridges and to just “force” (sorry for the “unprofessional” term!) the printer to accept my “print-command”? Thank you in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLife Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ive not long bought a Canon Printer, and took one of the ink tanks to be re filled at an IT Mall. Watched how the guy did it, when I got it home and tried to print, a notice came on screed (can’t remember the exact wording) But it said some thing like..... The printer had detected a non standard ink change and it would not let me print anything. I did a search and found that on my model when an ink tank runs out, and you get it re -filled, with a non Canon new ink When the button that blinks on the printer front to tell you that a tank is low, if you hold this button down for 5 seconds, A notice then came on screen saying (again can't remember the exact words) that you can now use the self filled tank at your own risk..? So I pressed the flashing button for 5 seconds, and it’s been printing now with out any problems…. Hope this may help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaus2005 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thank You “ThaiLife” for your reply! Unfortunately on the model I use (Canon Pixma MP150) there are only lights (one for the black ink and one for the color-ink), but there are no buttons on the control panel! This means the lights are flashing but there is no button I can press…. I tried almost everything….really nothing works! And the worst part is that buying the original canon refill ink cartridges (black/color) costs almost half of the amount the whole printer did…. Thank you anyway!
