CANON PRINTER NOT RECOGNIZING NEW INK CARTRIDGE ISSUE
Remove Protective Tape In various printers, ink cartridges are shipped with a small strip of protective tape that covers the print nozzle. This protective tape blocks the nozzle to prevent ink from leaking. If you didn’t remove this tape then the cartridge will not print anything.
Reset Ink Cartridge Counter Sometimes printer does not recognize ink cartridge or ink counter reads it “empty”. In various printers, there is cartridge reset feature that proves useful when the printer does not recognize ink cartridge. To reset ink cartridge in Canon printer, you need to press and hold the “cleaning button” for 3 seconds.
Refilled Cartridges Issues If you are unable to fill ink cartridge properly then your printer will not print. While filling ink in the cartridge, inject ink into sponge through exit hole. Sometimes ink flow gets blocked when air bubbles trapped inside the cartridge. In such situations, allow the ink cartridge to sit unused for an hour.
Run Extended Cleaning Cycle If the ink started to dry out then you need to run an extended cleaning cycle so that your Canon printer can recognize ink cartridge. Check the “Cleaning” button and hold it for a couple of minutes.
