My computer is saying that my ink on my printer is out but I just bought the ink today what is going on?What should I do?

check to ensure u have placed the catridges correctly

MATE U DID NOT MENTION WHETHER IS A GENUINE OR REFILLED INK CARTRIGE,BECAUSE SOME TIMES IN REFILLED INKS THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS.JUST CHECK IF ITS PRINTING OR NOT

maybe your ink cartridge is stock. try to pull out the ink then put it back turn off your printer then on if still not solve, just bring it back where you buy you have your warranty for that to replace.

Fix Canon pixma MP150 was working normally and today it says that cannot recognize ink cartridge

problem could be not compatible with the windows program
most windows vista will not except any printer made before windows vista.

yes you have to have both of them then everything should be fine.if you have the color cartridge that is empty put it in for now and see if it will work it will let u know that it is empty but at least you will be able to print in black

I've had this problem too. The only way to make the message go away is to buy the ink from Dell. Although generic ink cartriges will work the printer will not/can not reset the "low ink" message unless you buy the cartriges directly from Dell. So you can use another brand, but you'll just have to overide the low ink message when it pops up by telling it to continue printing. Then you can tell when the ink is low by seeing it when it prints out.

I get the ink system failure message on my hp c7180 as well as an error code of oxc18a0306.

DancerTiffy,

I can't tell you why your machine is acting like that nor can I tell you that you have a problem.

What I can tell you is that you're not alone when it comes to the ink drying out all of the sudden. In the past few years I can't count the number of people who have explained this problem. I also can't count the number of people that have said their Epson produces the highest quality prints and their happy with it.

Your problem could be the printer or it could be the ink. Since it already happened twice it's hard to say.

• How long have you had the machine?
• Still under the retail store's return policy?
• Still under the manufactures warranty?
• Only two prints were printed?

Check the date on your ink cartridge.  I bet it has expired.  If you put in a "new"cartridge but it is even an HP one with an older date, it may not work.
I had my printer stop in the middle of a print job.  It was printing fine and suddenly would not print.  So I refilled the cartridge with an ink kit I had on hand and reinserted it--no go!  Then I opened a remanufactured cartridge I had bought some time ago and inserted it.  No go, despite the fact I could see ink coming from the jets.  I finally gave up and bought a new HP ink cartridge, and it worked just fine.  But it bugged me why the new one would work and the other two that seemed just fine would not.
Later I learned that HP has a chip that reads the expiration date on the cartridges and that is what keeps those old ones from printing.  I found one trick of setting my date on my computer back to a year earlier than the exp date on the cartridge.  I saw the date on the remanufactured one I had tried earlier was 2005, so I set my computer date to today's date but year 2004.  After forcing me to do print alignments several times and take the remanufactured cartridge out and put it back, I got it to print just fine.  And that 2005 cartridge that would not work earlier is what I am printing with right now.
