Hi, If memory serves me right, this indicates that the waste ink absorbent material is full. They are considered consumables and therefore are to be replace after some time as in your case since they are full. You can do it yourself buy it's a messy job and you have to buy the spongelike wasteink absorber. It may be better to seek the services of a qualified professional or the Canon service. Hope this be of some help to you. Good luck.

Unable to get Printer cartridges to work on HP6313

Model names in the HP Brands can sometimes be similar and confusing because of the prefix or series attached to them.

Consult your manual for the required toner cartridges

When purchasing the replacement, go along with the finsihed set in order to help you identify them at the shop

Also you can try the HP 343 or 348 Tri Color, HP 339, 336, 337 Hi capacity black

Honestly i would advise taking the finished set of toner cartridge to the store and purchase the same model.

Laslty take out the toner and look behind it or at the side. Theres a unique code or number inscribed on it. that would help you to get the toners that are compatible with your printer

Can not print media

Basically ##343 means the waste ink absorber needs replacing (soaks the spilt ink up under the cartridges).

Link to an official Canon service manual. That should tell you how to change it.

Error code 9-343 for Ducocolor 12

That is a contact failure on the BTR roller. It is the larger black roller inside the left side door. It may just have a dirty contact, or may need to be replaced. But for some reason the machine is not seeing good contact to that roller.
