Canon Pixma MP150 - Error code E7, light C flashing

Help please!! I inserted 2 new cartrdiges in to the printer and it worked fine for a short while however it is now showing error code E7 and has the C light flashing. Also, if you try to print it says there are 2 black ink cartridges installed. I have triple checked that the cartridges are the right ones. Any help you can give would be appreciated Thanks

Try removing cartridges and manually claening the heads with cleaning solution and cotton bud (q-tip) replace. Print. No luck? Now try uninstalling and reinstalling printer.

Hi,
Either you replaced your printer cartridge or your ink is over or there seems to be a paper jam.
I have a Conon MP160,I got the same error when I got my Cartridge re-filled by a local re-filler,but the printer works fine.
Go to Printer Maintainance(Click the Printer Settings Wizard on Control Panel),all your problems get resolved there
Thank You.

Black & colour cartridge lights are flashing and error code 2

When the black and color cartridge lights are flashing this means that there is an ink cartridge error. To solve this issue, you need reseat the ink cartrdige. If this does not correct your issue, you will unfortunately need to replace the ink cartridge. Make sure you are not forcing the ink cartridge into the printer as it can damage it.

E15 means the Ink cartridge is not installed.

Both a black and color cartridge need to be properly inserted to clear this error.
