New ink cartridge still not printing

Did you buy factory new Canon cartridges or third party cartridges.

If you are using factory new Canon ink, call Canon about their defective ink.

If you are using anything else, want to bet there is no such thing as a warranty.

Don

You should try a different cartridge first, some generics don't fit all the way in and won't print, also make sure and remove the tape on the top front of the ink to allow air in and ink to come out when printing. When all that is OK you may need a new printhead,
QY6-0054-000 around $50.00

If using aftermarket inks you sometimes have to rap them on a paper towel to break an air lock.If you see ink coming out after rapping them try to print again.If nothing comes out you may have a bad print head or purge pump.
Try cleaning the head (without cartridges)in a 10-20% ammonia warm water mixture for 30-45 min.
Completely dry the head before returning it to printer.

The only solution is to replace your cartridge with a new one.

Take a look at the mounting point. They break very easily on this model. If not broke, try cleaning with a swab and inserting the cart again.

Printhead is dead, and here Canon gotcha because a printhead for ip1500 is more expensive as the whole printer.
So kiss your printer good bye and get a new one, but at least this time get one that uses cartridges with printhead ON THE CARTRIDGE (like HP and Lexmark) or, if you are in love with Canon, take one that uses the cartridges PGI-5 for black and CLI-8 for color, they also have sepparate printhead from cartridge but it seams they are more durable. And easy to refill, as well!

Hope it helped you in any way!

Rate this solution please. Thx.

Confirm that the ink tanks are installed properly When replacing the ink tanks, confirm that the new ink tanks are installed properly. If the ink tanks are not locked into place, paper may not be fed properly, or ink may not be supplied to the print head.

1. Check that the printer is powered on and open the front cover.
   
   
2. Wait until the print head moves to the center.

You may have some custom print settings active. Go to the print properties and set the printer to default print settings. You may try downloading and installing the newest print drivers too. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportDetailAct&fcategoryid=257&modelid=10236 here is the canon site for your machine.
