Please go to this Canon link (click here) and enter the term "ink cartridge replacement" in the search window for a set of detailed instructions (with pictures) on how to replace your ink cartridges.
As you face the printer, with the scan cover open,in position to remove them, the black cartridge goes on your left and the color on the right.


I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

i sure u buy wrong cartridge for your MP450...if u want higher quality, u should buy CL-51 cartridge for colour and CL-50 for black..

fyi, CL-52 can only suitable for IP6210D / IP6220D printer. u can see yourself at this link :

The ink cartridges are not installed [1401], or a non-supported ink cartridge is installed [1485], or the ink cartridges are not installed properly [1687].
Check if supported ink tank(s) is installed, and re-install them properly, and then close the scanning unit.

try to remove the cartridge from the printer and then try to print some docx,,, without the cartridge.... an error should say that the installed cartridge is not recognized... just try to print thrice or more then put back the cartridge... this should solve the problem.... thnx..
