Have DeskJet 952C but no manual. The light on the left with the X button keeps flashing. The ink cartridges don't feel like they are out of ink. Is this ink. Any suggestions?

carts are bad, or contacts where carts install on printer are bad, try to clean contacts on cart and printer, if no joy replace printer.

I have a Canon Pixma i90 printer and I keep getting error message "color ink tank not installed" and it has already been installed.

There's a small switch under where the ink tank goes on the left side of the carriage. You have to make sure you install the right side of the ink first, under the lip, and then press down the left side. When the switch goes bad, you need a new carriage which means you get a new print engine. Costs as much as a new printer.

Put in new ink cartridge -- won't print

Try lifting up the cover. If the ink level is low in a print cartridge, the Print Cartridge Status light stops flashing. If the problem is not related
to low ink, the light continues to flash after the cover is opened. It might be that the new cartridge is defective. Check the connections and see if there isn't anything keeping it from making contact.

Brand new Printer lights flashing

You should install driver first, then connect printer when prompted, then install inks, as it needs the driver to tell it there are full inks fitted, refer to the manual.
