I have a canon Pixma 4200 which is telling me Error number 1681: More than one ink tank of the following color is installed. " Black [8] " Use only one ink tank per color at a time. I installed new ink tanks a couple of days ago and the printer worked for a few pages and then this problem came up. Do you think it is a faulty cartridge or something else. Thankyou , Margaret

I think one of your cartridges is pretending to be a black cartridge. Are they refilled carts?

Error code U071 , more than one ink tank of te following color is installed, is the message on the screen. This is not the case as each cartridge is different and correctly installed?

Hi there,

Error U071 : More than one ink tank of the following color is installed. U071.
Action : Confirm that the ink tanks are installed in the appropriate positions.
The machine will not print if the wrong type of ink tank is used, or if it is installed in the incorrect position.
Be sure to install the ink tanks in the correct order. The proper arrangement from the left is Black (CLI-8BK), Black (PGI-5BK), Yellow (CLI-8Y), Magenta (CLI-8M), Cyan (CLI-8C).

Hope this hepls.

I have Canon M560 printer installed 8 months ago. I replaced the CLI 221 Magenta and CLI221 Cyan ink cartridges, won't work and got this message Error 1411. Tried repeatedly to reinstall the ink cartridges and still have this message coming back. Any solution you could offer? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

More than one ink tank BLK (5) Installed....

Hennie Youngman told this joke:

"I solved the parking problem in NYC." (He played the violin briefly at this point)....
"I bought a parked car."

I solved the Canon ink tank problem... I bought a new Canon ink tank.

Just how many non-working tanks am I subject to get in a lifetime is the question.

Ink cartridge

The message seems to be saying that you have two black cartridges installed and therefore one of the colors is missing. Is that possible?
