Question about Canon PIXMA MP830 All-In-One InkJet Printer
I replaced the Magenta cartridge when it ran out using a Canon 4ink tank package. This worked fine. A few days later the Black8, Cyan8 and Yellow 8 ran out. When I replaced them I now get various messages. Sometimes it says U043 that the Black Yellow and Cyan cannot be recognized. Other times it says that all four cannot be recognized, then it says that I have duplicate cartridges installed. I have clicked the cartridges out and pushed them back in. Sometimes the red light goes on for a few seconds then it goes off. Occassionally one or two of the lights blink and then stay on for a few seconds and then go off. As expensive as these cartridges are, I am hesitant to just try another box. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Aligning the cartridge has nothing to do with the problem of the u150 error that two of the same ink tank cartridges are installed. It's a defective chip in the ink cartridge, as soon as I placed a new cartridge in it worked like a charm. HOLD ON TO YOUR INK CARTRIDGE RECEIPTS, because if this happens to you and the cartridge is obviously new....the store of purchase should provide you with a replacement (+ if you don't want to make a 2nd trip, some stores have the mp830 on display and you can have them toss the cartridge in and check to make sure the chip is working properly). IF THE STORE WON'T REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CARTRIDGE, contact CANON (USA 1-800-828-4040)and explain the problem & hopefully the will stand behind their product and replace the defective cartridge.

1. Set all the printer cartridge both black and color cartridge (including the empty one)
2. Right click on printer driver properties
3. Click Maintenance tab
4. Click on Ink Cartridge Setting mark
5. In pop up menu, select the cartridge which has ink inside (black only or color only). or get more information from here .

I have a U043 saying the cyan ink cannot be recognized after I was trying to replace it with a new one. I did accidently put the blue on there & the cyan in the blue than the printer did not recognize both at first, but after I switched it, the blue was recognized and the cyan still did not work. Than I had went back to return the new cartridge at the store with another one and it still did not work with the new one. Do I need to clean the cyan area? And how?

HI. Try holding the reset button for 6 seconds to overide the error. This may dissable the chip so it won't report but will allow you to keep printing. Simply check the ink tanks visually.
Refilling will give the same error too, again dissable the error.

Try to open and close the main cover a bit, ... ink recognition will start and may solve the probleme ...
... otherwise remove the cartridge and clean the chip contacts e.g. with spirit
Maybe also pressing the stop/reset-button for >10s will also help to continue printing, but in this case the fill level of the cartridge will no longer be shown

Same problem - two solutions I found helped me work out mine. One said contacts needed to be cleaned and it worked to use a Q-tip and alcohol or just click it in position several times until it recognizes the cartridge - this may work. Another said that they got it to work by installing a brand new cartridge - cool, but I have one full of ink it won't recognize. So I pulled the little circuit board off a used cartridge (like you need to do with some refills) and put it on the cartridge that it wouldn't recogrnize - works great. Still haven't figured out how to get it to acknowledge ink levels though. Canon really should be more consumer friendly since these problems seem to be intended to compel the use of proprietary cartridges.

Usually answered in minutes!
I received the same error code (U150) several weeks after I purchased the printer. Strangley it worked for awhile but then began giving me this error code. I will try to replace the cartridge and see if the printer works.
My almost new printer now thinks that it has two magenta cartridges installed. Popping them out and back in again sometimes fixes the problem. Sometimes we have to repeat the process 10 times!
I keep running into the same problem - error U150 and it's always cartridge #5. I have also run into the duplicate cartridge error problems. I keep taking it out and putting it back in - sometimes that fixes it but must often I have to return the cartridge. What a pain! I buy the ink at Costco and have learned to keep my receipts. I should've bought the HP!
Cartridges aren't recognized. Printer gives confusing and wrong messages. about the cartridges. Like 'cannot read the ink level'. That sets of an alarm. At my windows pc I can bypas the alarm and continue printing with a non-functioning cartridge.
At my Mac I get stuck altogether. I can't even scan or fax anymore.
Yikes,

I don't think the issue is with the printer. I think the issue is with the ink cartridges. I love my printer and I have had it and used it TONS for almost 2 yrs now. This issue just started this week after purchasing a new Yellow ink cartridge. I don't have the issue anywhere else. And it recognizes if I have the wrong cartridge in. It's frustrating since I need this paper printed out, but I'm glad it isn't my printer.
Similar problem - been a nightmare every time I change any cartridge!

I have Canon MP830 which my copy light stays on and will not let me send faxes, or scan. At the same time copier will not reconize one of the black ink cartridges. Any suggestion
