Try cleaning the printhead and the area inside the print where the print head connects. Use folded tissue soaked in a bit f methylated spirit. If this still doesn't work, then it most certain that the cartridges have become incompatible and have to be replaced. Cartridges becoming incompatible is usual, sometimes resulting from expiration. If replaced with original cartridges the issue should be resolved
I had same problem of wrong cartridge error on canon multipass 700. I read some of this site's remedies and tried them. First I realigned printer head , then I removed cartridges and cleaned the place where the cartridge sits at bottom with 1 alcohol soaked q-tip ( 1 for each color) and reinserted the cartridges again. Left the printer off for a few days. When I turned on printer , It warmed up and the wrong cartridge message was gone and I was able to print again. Wow! Thanks again for all your help.
Many cartridges now have expiration date chips built into them. So, since you mentioned that the cartridges are "old", they may have expired. Check the date.
If you are absolutely sure that cartridge is installed correctly, the contacts where cartridge may be dirty. Clean gently with soft lint free cloth with small amount of rubbing alcohol and retry. If problem persists the contacts may have been damaged.
a) Verify the right color cartridge is in the right slot.
b) Verify that the cartridge is fully inserted (Press on front of cartridge) top gently to ensure the "Electrical" contacts make good contact.
c) Turn printer off/on
