Canon iP1800 I bought a canon ip 1800 and "ink cartridge are not installed properly" always appear when I'm going to print anything. The error blinker keeps blinking 7 times. I have taken out the cartridges and put them back in (with a click), and they're fairly new so I don't think I'm out of ink.

Make sure you removed the protective film on the cartridges.I've seen this alot on new installs.Next clean the print catridge contacts with a clean moist (very little) cloth ,then dry cloth.It may work, Good Luck.

Canon ip 1800 I have just replaced the black ink cartridge(canon 40) and threw away the empty colour cartridge and have not replaced it. Now my printer will not print out as it 'says' there is the wrong...

Yes, I believe that both cartridges need to be installed and have ink in order for the printer to work properly.

It sounds like the electrics on the back of the cartridge have failed, replace with a new cartridge, and away you go.

My cannon printer pixma ip1800 cannot detect ink pls help me...

If after you install the cartridge you get a yellow light and error message:
“The following may have run out of color. The function for
detecting the remaining ink level will be disabled since the
ink level cannot be correctly detected. If you want to
continue printing with out this function, press the printer’s
start button. Canon recommends using new genuine Canon
cartridges in order to obtain optimum quality.”

Do not click “cancel printing”. Press printer start button
to start printing. This action will bypass the ink level
detection from the recycled cartridge. It will not damage the
printer! With a recycled cartridge this action needs to be
done one time.
A full recycled cartridge ink level may not display correctly.
It may show empty.
If you want to check the ink level, you can do a “Nozzle
check” by follow the directions below:
Go to menu File select print click on “Property” click
on “Maintenance”
Click on “Nozzle check” to print out the color check.
Click on “Cartridge Alignment” to align the cartridge.

See pictures for above process at Inktelligent ip 1800 topic

Also the refills refered to above are at the IP 1800 inkfilling page

Ink cartridge (not) installed properly

For the Canon iP1800 printer are you sure you're using the 30 for black and 31 for color?

And make sure they "click" when installed. That should confirm that they're nice and tight in their ink compartments.

Besides that, maybe reinstalling the printer drivers could do something?
