I refilled my black ink cartridge for canon MP210 and now it wont print and have a black ink indicator flashing Thanks in advance

Did you refill your cartridge?

This is very important to find out considering what Canon system has.

If you used refilled cartridge, sometimes cartridge can't be readable.

Why? that's what Canon made originally.

As for the prevention, pls.....unpluge the power first before you take out the cartridge from printer.

In this way, you can at least prevent what it happens...

If you would like to save money, try refill kit by "ROADINK".
Not only they are easy, but also the printing quality is good.
For your better understanding pls check out my youtube video.

And will see how easy ink refill can be done.

Using refills and non-canon inks can cause issues with the printer. You can damage the print head and fill up the waste ink tank faster then needed..

Best of luck..

Apparently I just had the same problem and I managed to fix it! Click on the OK button on the printer to ignore the low ink level error, then you'll be able to print and scan.

First off, How many times does it flash organge before it goes to green?

two: out of paper
three: paper jam
four: Ink has run out
Five: FINE cartridge cannot be found
Seven: FINE Cart. not installed in correct position
Eight: Ink absorber almost full

Count how many times it flashes. Then get back to me

This worked for me: hold down the stop/reset button til the indicator light near the on/off button starts cycling.  The color ink orange light remains on but I can still print black and white and scan as normal.  Good luck!

Even if the ink level is low, you can continue printing.Press the paperfeed knob for 5 seconds. inklevel indicator will stop now.
Sometimes a new (or refilled) cartridge is not recognised correctly.
When one color is really mt, stop printing and replace inmideatly the colorcartridge.Printing or scanning without the 2 cartridges in place is impossible.

you have to change the ink cartridges

Just changed black ink cartridge and now getting Error 5. WIll not print at all. I am quite sure the new cartridge is compatible, it a like for like replacement. Is there a way to reset or resolve this issue? thanks

Hi there,
Filling is easy - but messy. I use No 40 cartridges for my pixma ip2200.
For the black cartridge, carefully remove the label. Drill a 2-3mm dia. hole in the depression in the top. With a syringe fill, using about 10ml of black ink. Plug the hole with a suitable bung and away you go!
You will however lose the ink level indication as it is not a genuine cartridge - but that is unreliable anyway.
Don't refill more than a couple of times as the foam inside the case eventually perishes and all the ink runs out.

Whilst the cartridge is out of the printer give the jets a wipe with a wet tissue. This is usually quite effective in removing dried on ink.

You can do the same with 41 colour cartridges but it is a bit more tricky locating the correct place to drill.

Good luck
