This is my problem, too, not the solution.
My black and white cartridge seems fine but when I installed the colour one, I see the message, cartridge not recognized. It is a new cartridge, but not original canon

Ensure that you are using original cartridges.

Clean the cartridge sensor inside the printer ink carriage with isopropyl alcohol and cotton. From description it looks like a faulty cartridge contact.

The cartridge sensor is the metal plaque that connects to the cartridge chip, is located inside the printer carriage.

I have refill catrige and now he don't recognize catrige any more!

this is a common problem with refilled or remanufactured cartridges. I would recommend sticking to official cartridges.

You can test this solution by buying a new cartridge to replace the one you refilled and you will see that the cartridge is recognized and works fine.

Anything else you need, just let me know

Does not recognize ink cartrige

If you can see ink in the window, just unplug machine and plug in while holding the stop button. Sometimes errors are just held and not reset, so that plugging in power while holding the stop button will clear them.

Coloured ink not registering

You can only refill those cartridges if you do it before the ink is empty. After that you need a new cartridge or a chip resetter to reset the chip on the cartridge so it will work again.

New ink not recognized

You have probably purchased refilled cartridges. Try to replace with genuine ink cartridges will solve out your problem.

The printer do not recognize the new replacement cartrige

I have many epson printer, some more than 5 years old. It's ok. some have printed more than 50.000pages, it's ok.
If Ink cartridge Unrecognizable, there are two posibilities : Chip Error at ink tank, or printer error. For chip error, try to plug the ink tank to another printer (same type). If the ink tank recognized by other printer, so the problem is printer.
So ;
1. Check chip conector at head carriage.
2. Check the wiring of the head, and chip.
If two point above is ok, the last action is check the power supply and board. It may be epprom is damage.
