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

I have the Canon Pixma MP210. so I don't know what the big difference would be. I have excellent results with the ink cartridges 30 & 31. Maybe they were not inserted properly. Try again.

I don't know. I have an MG6220, and it recognized the inks right away. Did you make sure to remove the small tape at one end? It covers the electrical connection, and if it wasn't fully removed, it might be blocking the cartridge from connecting and being read.

that is a very good question. I have an mp470. which uses only canon non-refurbished ink and just a few weeks ago, someone mistakenly gave me the 41 instead of the 31. my printer worked just fine (as far as canon ink seems to go, which is revolting in my opinion). but that's the gist of it.

Not sure if the printer does "ink recognition". It only monitors the chip in the cartridge as far as I know. I do know that using ink from the earlier version of these cartridges (not 250 series) is a no-no.

Im sorry about that, the bullet points on the listing said they wouldn't work with the newer printer, however we fixed it now and now they'll work in all printers, these are now the new generation of these cartridges, and please contact us about the bad ones you have so we can replace with the new ones, Thank you Lisa

Using the cartridges is always interesting. The chips onthe cartridges need to perfectly match the pins in the printer. If you are getting "cartridge not recognized" that may or may not be solved by removing and replacing the cartridge. If you are getting noting, power down the printer, let things reset and then try the new cartridges. I consider these a boon when they work and am not too disappointed when they don't. You might also try cartridges from one of the other packs. I hope this is helpful - and if not, truly sympathetic.

This happened to me today. As long as you didn't throw out your old cartridge you're fine. Just remove the little circuit board on the top of the original cartridge and swap it out with the one on the new 2inkjet cartridge. Once I did that my printer automatically recognized it and everything worked just fine! It's super easy to take the circuit board off, just be careful not to lose it!

I've never had a problem with the printer not recognizing the cartridges with these. Make sure you ordered the right cartridge number for your printer and follow the directions for replacing the cartridges. Don't forget to remove the strip that covers a vent hole before removing the hard plastic cover prior to inserting your cartridge. Try again.

I no longer have this combo printer scanner, but without loading the software from the install disk, it never would recognize the scanner for me either. It takes a complete removal, and a complete install, the primary reason I now have a Canon.

I do not know if it is or not. However this is my second go round with remanufactured cartridges and they never have worked. First one was done locally here and second through Amazon. I would not trust them ever again. I have mp210.

I replaced my cartridge some months ago and don't really remember. But I found this site online and thought it might help.http://www.justanswer.com/printers/4n4rm-canon-p23-dh-calculator-how-replace-ink-ca.html

I own a Canon MG5220 and have had great success with "Canon compatible" cartridges ordered from Megatoners online. I just ordered 9 new cartridges (my machine has five cartridge slots and I had one still left from the last order) and am paying less than $25. No leakage and no chip issues and no muss and fuss over refills. Address: www.megatoners.com

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.

The same thing happened to me. They are the wrong cartridges. The sensors are either incorrect or defective.

This cartridge ( the chip ) only works on certain machines. It is a replacement cartridge for a certain canon printer ( description says "PGI-220 CLI-221 Canon Pixma Canon iP3600 iP4600 iP4700 MP560 MP620 MP640 MX860 MP980 ink inkjet cartridges-4BK/4BK/4C/4M/4Y" )1. Is this the right replacement for your printer?2. If it is the correct cartridge, try another one of the cartridge ( if you bought more than 1 )3. Try to wipe the chip ( the little copper plate ) on the cartridge clean with a paper towel.succes

Not sure about the printer model. Just want to say buy from a different vender I have tried several and this one is by far a failure. I am now having trouble with another cartridge from the pack. I have to constantly remove it and put it back in to be recognized. Not worth the few bucks that I saved. I am going back to inkforless until my local ink store gets the chips for these cartridges. Also found that the ink was used up faster than the original something just is not right with their product.

Hi John, the cartridge are supposed to be "plug and use", if they are not being recognized by the printer, contact the seller, they should be fine to replace them for you. It happend once to me on one black cartridge, the seller asked me to trash it and he send me a replacement one that worked fine.
