Gaming Printer doesn't recognize Ink cartridge.

[AlanJohn]

I refilled my ink cartridge... But now PC is telling me that it can't recognize the following cartridge: Color. I have a Canon MP270 and I use FINE cartridges... Someone help me...

Sometimes the circuitry in print cartridges are duds. Take it back for a refund/replacement. I've only seen it happen once though, and it was with an official Canon print cartridge too.

Thats not an answer to my current question. I heard that there is some way to "reset" a cartridge, How can you do that?

 

[Rogue_Syst3m]

should be an option on the printer

Nope, such option not exist... I tried mptool but it didn't work, any suggestions on ink reseters?

 

[Rogue_Syst3m]

not even in the printer software? did u try unplugging it then plugging it back in?

it could be bad contacts as mentioned...

Usual "check the contacts- refilling can get messy and I assume you are new to the gig" and with that out of the way onto the good stuff

Printer cartridge manufacturers are unpleasant people and will do just about everything in their power to stop people refilling, tweaking or otherwise depriving them of cartridge sales. The history of such things is long and well documented if you want to look.

I have not dealt with this model (or for that matter Canon in a long time either) so I am afraid I have no definite advice but a quick search for "Canon MP270 cartridge reset" says hold the reset button for 10 seconds (disables checks) and then if it queries it again press the red triangle button ( http://www.extremecow.com/Can_t_print_afte...70-qna1605.html )
The cart probably has an onboard chip which you can reset but that would be tricky and most places that do it tend to opt for a big machine to do the deed rather than say a little switch hidden somewhere on the cartridge.
