Receive msg: "Print Cartridge(s) missing or not detected

were they 'refilled' cartridges ? Lexmarks are sensitive to that...they have a chip in their tanks that you have to change/reset....you can't just refill them with ink.

Smash printer with axe or sledgehammer. Grin maniacally. After researching on internet,go out & buy new printer that allows you to print till empty & refill again! Obviously not a Lexmark...

Your pen nib is faulty, but you are filling the ink, it wont work right?.. Similarly print cartridge(s) are faulty, no use to refill it. Do this exercise:Remove both cartridges from the printer, switch on the printer see the cartridge missing status on panel, insert mono(Black) cartridge close the door see the panel massage, if it's detected no issue with mono cartridge,if not mono cartridge faulty. insert colour cartridge & see..find out replace it...

originally, when u have ink cartridges in Canon product run low u need to buy new ones, because it was designed like that. even u have refilled the old cartridge full, it will detected low ink because the old cartridge already detected for the beginning. this designed to make Canon buyer to buy new ones ink cartridge. but, there some trick to make your old cartridge detected as new one, all u need just to reset the setting for cartridge recognition. try to visit this site:

Are they new cartridges?

If so, have you removed the clear plastic protection strips from the cartridge heads?

Sounds like the problem is that you are refilling the cartridges. Each HP cartridge has a special chip on it that will only read the original ink supply properly. Try a brand new cartridge that has never been refilled and see if that makes a difference.

Just a shot in the dark, was it a refilled ink cartridge. I know HP has a problem detecting the remanufactured cartridges from time to time. And too, if it is not refilled cartridge perhaps you just have a bad cartridge.
Oh, of course Julie remembered to pull the tape off of the bottom of the ink cartridge, correct?
Hope this did some good, please leave rating,
thank you kindly.

sounds like they're the type of cartridges that cannot be refilled, due to the computer chip on them.

Hi ,
if you are getting the error msg 12203 , pperform the following steps,
remove both the cartridges from the printer and unplug the power adapter ( black box) from the back panel of the printer, clean the cartridges using a damp cloth .

initially put only the black cartridge and then turn on the system , it will give you the error msg right cartridge missing, you can ignore it and try copying a document .

remove the black cartridge and put the color one in, and then try printing.

during the printing with any of the cartridge inside the printer if it gives out the error msg 1203 then that cartridge has to be replaced...

had cartridge refilled put back but comes up no cartridge
