Hello, this error signals that something is wrong with ink cartridge. You can try re-install ink cartidge, if this doesn't helps ink cartridge is defective and you need to replace with new one.
I am having the same problem with my MP780 mine started doing the same thingafter deciding to use Calidad inks the large black ink leaked into the yellowink (stick to canon inks).
What I have done so far with no success - Replaced the ink cartridges with new ones supplied by Calidad, still the sameproblem. Removed and cleaned the print heads manually and to my surprize after soakingin warm water and multiple cleanings for over 1hr black ink is still coming outof the yellow ink head. I still get the same message after all I have tried...
One thing I did manage to do is prime the yellow ink and got it flowing throughthe head again but it's still mixed with black... I wonder if you may have runout of magenta and dried the head...
Try priming the magenta ink by removing the head (don't touch or wet the metalcontacts at the rear, the ink heads are on the bottom) place on a clean lintfree cloth (or I just used damp tissues then dry tissues) you should get onelong black strip and two cyan, two magenta and two yellow strips on the tissue,if you do not then try priming by replacing the magenta cartridge and gentlypumping the cartridge up and down repeat until you get the ink flowing.
Replace the head and cartridges, press ok, turn the printer off then reset.
Let me know if it works or if you come up with another solution that works as Iam still trying to figure out how to fix mine.
On the ink cartidge there is a ribbon that looks like a circuit board (NOT WHERE THE INK COMES OUT) clean the connectors on the cartidge and the printer and try again
Printers have a mechanism to detect refilled cartridges. By default it does not accept refilled ones. But there's a work around. Have a set of two (preferably 3) cartridges , refill and cycle them. This way the printer wont be able to detect that you have inserted a refilled cartridge.
“Lexmark does not support the refilling of its ink cartridges. Refilling the ink cartridges can cause them to leak, thus clogging or even damaging the print head. Any damage to your printer caused by refilled ink cartridges may not be covered under warranty”. Please use genuine Lexmark cartridges for best results.
remove some ink from the cartridge and clean the contact point of the cartridge and inside the printer, then hold the cartridge. when the cartridge not drop ink fix the in the printer
The MP600 does not use the 40 or 41 cartridges, it uses individual color (and black) ink tanks. But other models (MP190, MP460, MP470, etc) do use these cartridges. The error message you are receiving indicates that the printer does not recognize the cartridge you installed as a valid black ink cartridge. This can mean that either the cartridge is faulty, or that the printer has a problem.
I would suggest trying another new cartridge, and if you still get the same error, to contact Canon for support options if the unit is still in warranty.
