I recently just bought these for my Canon printer. I use the Canon 30 Black &amp; Canon 31 Color. I received these &amp; my printer won't read. What do I do?

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

well i ordered these and have no complaints; but try cleaning the headers due to change....request test page after cleaning. if ink quality is still poor, try repeating the process until quality is of satisfactory....good luck

We only use Canon cartridges on all of our Canon printers, and have never experienced this. I would remove the cartridges to make sure that they are clear of debris, re-install, run all of the print modes (i.e. cleaning, aligning, etc.).

No, I actually had problems so I decided to buy direct from Canon directly. They fit however; the printer did not recognize them so a few of them didn't work.

If you haven't already, double check your installation -- that they are correct cartridges in correct spots. Perhaps you have dud cartridges. Try exchanging them for a new set. We have replaced our cartridges with no problem.

Terry,Thanks for your question. I have been using this set of cartridges since they arrived and have not had a bit of trouble with them. They seem to be just like the ones from Canon that I paid so much for the last time I had replaced them. These were much cheaper and work just as nicely.

I'm having the same problem with the black ink. I paid handsomely for this printer, and the Company should stand by their product. Let's see if they do. If I can't find a solution to the problem, I will address Brother. I suggest you do the same as it appears we are not alone.

My printer did not recognize them either, I would send them back or recycle them. They just don't work and the instructions provided had no effect.

I had the same problem, I took them out and then put them back in again. Once I did that a couple of times then a question mark appears on the front screen, but the printer will print it won't acknowledge the cartridge cause it is a refurbished one, but the printer will print. Try that and see if that works for you. Hope so :)

I have a photosmart too 5520 and these work for me. I bought replacement ink on amazon. Just buy from someone that is reputable. They come filled for the first time so, do not worry about filling them first. I just refill one for the first time this week. Use Regular black ink not photo.

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

I was confused about what plastic to rip off or if I was just to shove them in. I had to push the cartridge in pretty firmly. Don't rip off the clear plastic first. I have already used mine so I can't look at one to remember what it looked like before I put them in the printer. But I remember wondering if I was to rip off the small round piece of plastic on the side that goes into the printer. My advice is to put it in the slot and give it a firm push. The little black lever on the top should pop up when the cartridge is seated. This is assuming you have the same printer and cartridges I do. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Hope they work for you.

Joaquin, I have the Canon MP-280 and these are the replacement cartridges that I ordered and am presently using for mine. I'm getting ready to reorder the same ones, as my color cartridge is now empty. I purchased the cartridges in December, and I use my printer almost every day to print documents, recipes, etc...I realize that it's almost been a year since you posted your question, but I thought that it might help someone else that may possibly have this same question.

They worked fine for the first month, but after that I started getting a red tinge on all my pictures. It took me 2 days to get the printer to work again. I've bought previous packets from other companys that have worked great. Good luck

Those are the wrong ink cartridges. Your printer uses Canon CL-40 and CL-41 ink cartridges, not CL-30 and CL-31. You may have to install the drivers for the Canoln MP190. Check on the Internet for more information. I hope this helps

These would not work for me either. The print was very poor and the black would not work at all. I ended up throwing them away and bought new locally.

You don't . This printer is notorious for NOT working when printing black. I was sent new printing heads& new cartridges, neither of which solved the problem
