Canon mp470 is an excellent printer.I will always recommend using original catridges in your printer.Refilled catridges are not accepted by the manufacturers.Let me tell you i used to work for HP in the beginning of my carreer. I have seen that HP refused to accept refilled catriges. hence i would reccommend you take a cotton cloth ,remove the catridges from the printer.Clean the print heads using that cotton cloth n then reinstall the catridges back .......
Lets see if this resolves the issue

Hello, this is what your error means: Ink tank not recognized [1684]
A non-supported ink tank is installed (the ink tank LED is turned off). Install the supported ink tanks, check that the chips on the cartridges are clean.
I have one like this, it will come out just lift the lever and just pull outby tilting it a little from the to side, after you taken it out gave it a good clean with some white sprites with some small brush, gave it a shake dry and wipe it dry, try not to touch the head it selfe.

You need to check your nozzle check print and see if all the colors print. Also many generic inks are not the right color. Take out your yellow cartridge and see if it's still yellow, if it's orange or brown you need a new printhead, there's a membrane inside that keeps the colors separate and when it breaks you get cross contamination of the colors.
Are you sure you haven't confused the new and old cartridges? also make sure that any stickers that protect the contacts on the cartridge have been taken off.
the canons do look to see if they new original or 'fake' cartridges
often the chip on the cartridge will tell the printer that it it over used and refuse to accept it
try a new black and see how it goes
sometimes things are designed to wear out and not work
many printer makers do this with their cartridges and drums
my laser has done this recently
