Canon printer not recognising a new ink cartridge

Hold down the stop / cancel button for 5 seconds to bypass the `ink has run out` message and your cartridge should work. The cancel button is a red button that normally looks like a triangle in a circle.

If the printer says the cartridge is damaged or will still not recognise the cartridge then remove the cartridge and gently wipe the copper area or the cartridge with a dry soft cloth (the area known as the `chip`) to remove any static that may have accumulated on it and re-insert to see if it will solve the problem.
Printer Blocked. Issue: This indicates the printer is unable to print due to a blockage. This may mean the paper roll was installed incorrectly or the paper lid is not in the proper place.
If your PC or the LCD screen on your printer is telling you that your ink cartridges are full but no ink is passing through to the paper, then it`s most likely that you are dealing with a clogged printhead. Blurry documents and images that appear faded are also signs that it`s time to remove the excess ink.
Moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water and wipe the print head area. If you have hard water or are concerned about mineral deposits from your tap water, use distilled water. If your cartridge has a gold, silver or copper nozzle plate, try not to get it wet. Use a wet cotton swab to only clean the print head.
Verify the ink cartridge(s) is inserted properly. Some cartridges snap in place, and if they are not inserted fully, the printer won`t print anything. If a lever is moved from its original position to allow for installation of ink cartridges, ensure it is returned to its original position.
To disable the function for detecting the remaining ink level, press and hold the printer`s Stop button for at least 5 seconds, and then release it. By this operation, the fact that you have disabled the function for detecting the remaining ink level will be memorized.
