If using CLI8's and they are flashing red you have a bad cartridge or it is in the wrong location.If so Canon will replace the bad cartridge.
remove all cartridges leaving printhead intact. close cover, turn off turn on, let power up, error message should be gone. open cover, reinstall cartridges if you cleaned your print head like I did you'll probly eventually end up getting a new one anyway, due to the color variations but I can at least print text.
This may seem to be a stupid question but, is it the right cartridge?
Is it a genuine Canon cartridge or an aftermarket replacement that "suits" your printer? If the latter, try getting a genuine Canon cartridge and install that and see if you get the same error message.
If you still get the same message, take it to a repairer and get them to check it out for you.
