I just replaced the color ink in my Canon IP1800 printer. The color ink I use is Canon CL-31. The problem: After the printer turning on, the green led turn on for about a second than its turn off and the orange led blink 14 times. When trying to print I'm getting the following popup: The following ink cartridge can not be recognized. Color Printing can not be executed because the ink cartridge may not be installed properly or may not be compatible with the printer. I would appreciate your help Regards, Dudi

Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges
