Solution to get rid of error 1203 on printer 926 is
Disconnect and Reconnect the Printer Power Supply
Reconnect the power supply to the back of the printer.
Try a Known-Good Ink Cartridge in the Printer

Check to see if the installed cartridge is the correct one for the printer. If the cartridge is the proper part number, remove the ink cartridge and make sure all the packaging tape has been removed from the copper circuitry strip on the backside of the cartridge. Reinsert the cartridge and try printing again.
If the error continues, remove the cartridge again and clean the copper circuitry strip on the backside of the cartridge, and the contacts inside the printer, by following the instructions below:
1. Use a clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Locate the copper-colored circuitry strip on the back of the cartridge.
2. Wipe the copper-colored strip with the dry cloth. Use an upward motion, from the nozzle end to the top of the cartridge. Do not wipe the nozzle end of the cartridge or touch the nozzle plate. Wipe the contacts only once.
3. To clean the printer contacts, carefully look for fibers or contamination on the electrical contacts inside the carriage assembly, but do not wipe the printer contacts with any object. The contacts in the printer can be damaged if too much pressure is applied during a wiping process. Try to remove any visible attached debris within the carriage assembly by gently pulling the debris off with your fingers. If the carriage contacts show noticeable damage, contact the Customer Care Center listed in the printer's User's Guide.
Reinsert the cartridge and try printing again. If the error continues, the cartridge may need to be replaced.
Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
Thanks.
Have a good day.

I have an error messgae 1203 on my Dell All in One Printer
Same issue - Cartridge Error 1203 on my Dell "Photo 924". This happened right out of the box with new cartridges from the factory. Unfortunately, I can't hardly send the printer back since it sat in a box in my basement for 18 months because I didn't need the printer (it came with a lap top deal).
The printer has never worked.
i recieved the error 1203 for the photo 926 printer, followed the steps of checking the connection and plugs, replugged them, and took the ink cartridges out and put them back in. restarted the printer, and yet still not working
