Error in cartridge

My Printer has been working Fine...While Printing...the Printer stopped and Displayed "Wrong Cartridge"....Called Canon Tech support....They had me remove the Printer Head and Clean the "Gold Tabs" on the Head.....This did not solve the Problem.....Then he told me I had an Internal Problem with a "Chip" or something like that.......Then they give you a "Discount Code" to purchase another Canon Product to replace the old one.

Same problem here-and NO SOLUTION. Cartridges are the correct ones.

After this, I would never purchase anoth Canon. Same problem here-and NO SOLUTION. Cartridges are the correct ones.

I bought my Canon MultiPass MP730 All in one about 4yrs ago. It's well taken care off and used lightly. All of a sudden I got this message 'WRONG CARTRIDGE'. Local dealers for Canon products are at a total loss. I just don't know what to do. I paid $3500 TT$ for it from amazon. Now it seems like I have to purchase another printer. I feel robbed since I definitely did not get service for price from this product! I bought my Canon MultiPass MP730 All in one about 4yrs ago. It's well taken care off and used lightly.

Yep.... Just happened to me this morning. My Canon Multipass 730 has wsorked fine for four years. Never seen that 'Wrong Cartridge" message until a few hours ago. Repalced my ink cartidges with new, exactly what I should be using -- still "Wrong Cartridge." Turned off power, then on again - SEVERAL TIMES - nothing. Sorry about your problem everyone, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Farewell Canon? Any suggestions? I don't take Consumer Report anymore. Yep.... Just happened to me this morning.

I have the exact same problem! For years my Canon mp730 has worked perfect, now I have a "wrong Cartridge " message and the printer will not work. I shut off the printer and unpluged it for days and then tried it again but still the same message, what should I do? I have the exact same problem!

Same thing...I've had my printer for more than 4 years. It was working great. I used it yesterday and all of a sudden I got the "wrong cartridge" message...

Exact same problem! We've had this printer for a couple of years and have had no problems, until today. Please, somebody tell us the solution! Exact same problem! We've had this printer for a couple of years and have had no problems, until today. Please, somebody tell us the solution!

Same basic problem as those already described.

Though I don't know if there's a connection, mine started after I replaced an empty yellow cartridge. The new cartridge was a Staples brand, but I've used them before without any trouble. Nonetheless, I bought and installed a complete set of Canon cartridges. It did no good; I still get the "error in cartridge" message, alternating with the usual message when everything is working well.

Judging by the age of the printers mentioned elsewhere -- around four years (which is the same as mine) -- this sounds like something has worn out in the machine. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tony

I have been refilling my own cartridges with canon ink with no problems but when the black magenta and yellow all went empty at the same time I got the error message wrong cartridge. I refilled all the empty cartridges still the same error. I bought all new cartridges and installed them, still the same error. I removed the cartridges and the print head. I cleaned the print head with the cleaner that comes with the ink kits, let it dry and reinstalled all with the new cartridges. Still have the same error.

Help please.

I love my Canon Multi Pass MP730. But I can't do anything now because it says Wrong Cartridge. I walked throught the error with Canon and it is something that they say I have to take it in and I don't want to wind up paying the same price I paid for the printer. I love this thing and don't want to give it up yet. Anyone have a less expensive solution?????? I love my Canon Multi Pass MP730. But I can't do anything now because it says Wrong Cartridge.
