How do I reset the print cartridge on an IP5300?

I replaced a couple of print cartridges on my Canon IP5300 and moved the chips from the old cartridges to the new ones but now get print error and cannot print anything. The reset procedure provided with the cartridges does not seem to work. Can you tell me how to reset the print cartridges on the IP5300?

I am trying to use new non OEM print cartridges that have no chip. I removed a chip from the previous empty cartridge and installed in in the slot on the new cartridge but after doing that, the light on the cartridge does not even blink and the printer will not work. I tried cleaning the contacts on the chip with an eraser but still no success. I guess I will have to buy new cartridges that have the chip installed.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. I have been refilling OEM cartridges and using non-OEM cartridges in my Canon printers for years without problems until we got into these chipped cartridges. It has saved my lots of money over the years. Besides, if the printer does fail, it is cheaper to buy a new one than to buy replacement OEM cartridges. Maybe the OEM manufactures should get real with their pricing of replacement cartridges. I have ordered some non-OEM, chipped cartridges to solve my problem. They cost just over $1.00 per cartridge instead of $20-30 for OEM.

Word to the wise, NEVER EVER use refilled or non OEM cartridges in any printer! They can do serious damage and you end up buying a whole new printer by trying to save a few bucks on the front end. I used to work for a national chain where we pushed our own after market cartridges. Even at that time I knew what headaches and heartaches it caused. I still directed people pass our own company cartridges straight to HP, Canon, Lexmark, or whomever. Try buying a Canon cartridge and hopefully this will fix it.

Ink cartridge light bkinks

Your printer thinks a cartridge is empty. If all your cartridges are full it means that the cartridge you bought either has a damaged chip (original Canon cartridge) or didn't have the chip reset on it (refilled cartridge). You need to either buy a new cartridge if one is empty or return the new one with a defective chip for a new one.

My canon inkjet ip90 error color ink not installed but it is

A few basic causes. Most of them generic but should be able to help you out

1. The cartridges you bought were not original equipment ones (OEM)and many "clone" cartridges are known to have problems with the ink level chips

Take them back and get them replaced with a different brand

2. They are original cartridges but may still be faulty (rare but possible)

Take them back and get them replaced

3. Your print head is clogged or faulty

Run your printer through the head cleaning process a few times and see if it clears up.

4 your cartridges are out of alignment

run the cartridge alignment process

%. The head maybe just plain old pooched (not always repairable but on occasion...)

If you are filling them yourself then...

Cartridge ink levels are usually monitored by a small chip on the cartridge. If that cartridge is allowed to fall below 25% ink level most chips then become locked and not able to re-set.

For many cartridges you can buy a reset device to reset chips that have not become locked. Or you could buy empty cartridges that don't need resetting and that will always accept a self refill.

As for scanning if by that you mean the photocopy function then that could be linked to any of the above. But should you mean it wont scan to the computer then you should look at any hardware or driver issues that you may have and maybe also the source selection (usually TWAIN) is a good source selection.

CANON PIXIMA IP5300 cartrage problem

I can suggest you one thing. If you can't do it yourself, get a friend who can.
Make a small hole (using a drill) in a new cartridge. This hole should directly go to the ink cartridge. (Make sure you don't spill ink everywhere!) Make a similar hole in the old cartridge. Take a syringe and pull out some ink from the new cartridge. Put it into the old cartridge. If you can see the ink level, fill about half of the old cartridge this way. Close both holes. Now use the old cartridge in the printer!
(You can repeat this process whenever the old cartridge runs out of ink).

HAVE REPLACED CARTRIDGE STILLS SAYS RECOMMEND NEW CARTRIDGE

Canon use chipped cartridges, if you use a generic or a refilled one that uses the old chip (you have to move the chip yourself) then it will report it as empty, unless you re-set the chip with a chip re-setter that is made for those particular chips.

Ink cartridge

You basically got scammed on that purchase. The important detail they didn't tell you was that the chips need to be reset on these cartridges. By resetting the chip you are telling the printer it has a full cartridge. Once the chip thinks the cartridge is empty it will cease to print. That's why you got the cartridge to print some and then it quit. You don't necessarily have to buy original Canon cartridges, but you do need to make sure you are buying refills with reset chips. I recommend Cartridge World for refills. I would stay away from internet sellers because they pull stuff like this on you and give you terrible ink.

Waste ink full

This step is a "reset" step for the Canon CLI8 cartridges. The original Canon CLI8 cartridges have a memory chip on the back of the cartridge, which sends a signal to the printer when the cartridge is empty. Your printer won't be able to determine how much ink is in the compatible cartridges, but you can easily monitor the ink level by noticing the ink level drop in the cartridge as you print (the cartridges are see-through), or by noticing low ink output on the printed pages when you run out of ink. The "reset" procedure below is the best procedure we know of to date to allow your printer to use Uni-Kit cartridges which offer a tremendous savings over the Original Canon products.

With the original chip now attached to the compatible cartridge (you may need double sided tape to get the chip to stick well to the cartridge), and with the cartridge now in the printer, Press and hold the Reset/OK Button for 5 seconds to reset the chips.

The "Ink Low" dialog box will pop up (similar to photo 1 below)
Continue to print until the "ink has run out" dialog box pops up (similar to photo 2 Below) Click "OK" to continue to print.
The "Ink Low" dialog box may reappear, if so repeat the first 2 steps
Then the "once empty" dialog box will pop up (similar to photo 3 Below) Click "Yes" to continue to print
The "Not Liable" dialog box will pop up (similar to photo 4 below). Click "Yes" to continue to print
Continue to print until the "remaining level of ink" dialog box pops up (similar to photo 5 Below) Click "OK" to continue to print
Another dialog box will pop up with the "press and hold the Resume" or "press and hold the Paper Feed" button (similar to photo 6). Press and hold the "STOP/RESET" button (for Canon MP Series) or "PAPER FEED" button (for Canon IP Series) for 5 seconds. DO NOT Click "Back" or "Cancel Printing"
The "Ink Monitor" dialog box will appear and the printer will continue to print. (similar to photo 7) In the event that that the "press and hold the Resume " dialog box pops up again, Press and hold the Paper Feed Button or Stop/Reset Button for 5 seconds
