Question about Canon PIXMA MP780 All-In-One InkJet Printer
I refilled the black cartridge and the printer seems to resent it! Kept sending "low ink" message, but I could override that (there was a 'print anyweay' option). But now I'm getting message U130: "remaining level of ink cannot be correctly detected." And I can't find out how to override it. Must I forever pay ruinous prices for Canon cartridges?
Hello, I found this in a repair manual for the MP830. summery is to press and hold the stop/reset button for 5 or more seconds. I copied the info from the manual too. The remaining ink amount unknown. [1683] (Applicable ink tank icon) The remaining level of the following ink cannot be correctly detected. An ink tank which has once been empty is installed. Replace the applicable ink tank with a new one. Printing with a once-empty or refilled ink tank can damage the print head. If printing is continued without replacing the refilled ink tank, press the Stop/Reset button for 5 sec. or longer to record the use of a refilled ink tank. Note: After the above operation, the function to detect the remaining ink amount is disabled.

When you replaced the cartridge, did it ask if the color and black ink was replaced and did you answer yes for the black ink only? Either way, you can reset the ink counter for the black ink cartridge through the printer properties/maintenance or by simulating replacing the cartridge again. There shouldn't be any issue by not using canon cartridges.

JTRA, you said "you can reset the ink counter for the black ink cartridge through the printer properties/maintenance or by simulating replacing the cartridge again."
Where is "printer properties/maintenance" and what should I do when I get there?
Re simulating replacing the cartridge again,
I did multiple simulations of replacing ink tank, also wiped chip down w/alcohol in case there was dirt o it. No progress. I put in a brand-new Canon tank--no progress, but at least I could tell the printer to go ahead anyway by pressing OK. Then the color tanks needed refilling, and that caused the same problem. Now I get message U130 saying ink level cannot be detected, and I can't find a way to override.
Thank you so much for that info about pressing the reset button for 5 seconds or more. Wow! That really worked. I was getting really frustrated.
thanks again.

Having the same problem with a pixma 600.Brand new cartridge, but "The remaining level of the following ink
cannot be correctly detected. Replace
the ink tank" .  It's great that we can ignore the alarm by holding the reset for 5 seconds, but now that means that it's ignoring the problem and may now damage the print head right? How can we fix the problem rather than ignore it?
same as describes already !
I have same problem :(
I have teh same problem...anyone with a solution?
OMG! Thank you SO. MUCH! I've been frustrated for so long and the reset x5 seconds works like a charm.
You should be able to override this and tell it to use it anyway. Compatible cartridges for override assistance.
I just refilled my blk ink cartridge in Jan. I just got a message to cheek blk cartridge message #1688.
ink cartridge will not come out
i have change the cartridge but the printer cannot detect the ink level
Have printer, do not need canon to work as printer, just want to scan a few documents. No ink cartridges in machine, but not printing. How do I override the error message so that I can just use the scanner part.
My Canon pixma ip90 printhead is new, ink cartridges are full, but my printer doesn't work.
Any ink is blowed on paper sheet.
The printer has correct sounds and printhead movements seem regular.
What I can do to configure printhead correctly?
My 6 or 7 year old iP6000D printer has been a real champ until now. When "Print" activated it goes through the motions of printing, back and forth with slow feed through the printer; however, there is not a single pixel of ink on the page. No error messages appear in the LCD display and I'm still using Canon inks - no refills of any type. I've run all the Tool Box tests, still no ink (and yes the cartridges are full to nearly full. This problem occurred without any warning - it worked one day and didn't the next. I love this old machine but I currently have my eye on a new Epson printer if this one can't be salvaged at a reasonable price. Thanks for any help you might provide.
