help printer message ink levels low when just replaced cartridges!

[blueroangirl]

Hi can anyone help me please? Just replaced both colour and black ink cartridges in canon mp210 printer. Used Tesco ones that are supposed be ok for the printer as much cheaper. Canon ones are PG40 for colour (used c113 Tesco) and CL 41 (used c123). Any ideas?

It'll probably be because you haven't used genuine cartridges. Some printers don't recognise anything other than their own genuine replacements,   But they will still work

Thats what I was going to say, used to happen to me all the time

Worked for a while but now saying no colour ink and it won't print even though a few minutes ago it printed perfectly with no problems and with perfect colour. Any ideas?

Have you tried printing the test page for the printer?
My epsom doesn't like haveing the ink changed, but 2 or 3 test pages usually sorts it out

I replaced the cartridges on the printer at work, and had the same problem....... i had forgotten to remove the sticky covers on the ink cartridge! Doh

my HP printer gives out signals that its nearly empty long before they are empty because I use non-HP cartridges - I just keep going until they are empty and ignore messages
