I just installed a full set of these cartridges into my Canon PIXMA 882, and the printer has locked up with error U043. Help?

U043 error means printer is not recognizing one or more of the ink cartridges. I would try reseating the unrecognized cartridge as well as cleaning the contacts on cartridge and printer. You could disable ink level monitor and it will probably work. One other solution others have posted online is to keep reseating the cartridge until the printer gives you a warning that the cartridge you are trying to refill isn't recognized. It will then give you another message that canon is not responsible for any damage to your printer caused by using non canon ink. One you do this, I am fairly certain that it will not display the ink level in the cartridge. Hope this helps a little.

My printer, Pixma 4820, recognized the cartridges. Printing was fine for thing which are not kept, however photos faded badly and I've gone back to Canon ink. Jim Wilson

My printer consistently rejected the cartridges after using factory ones. May have been a seating problem. Not sure as of yet.Resorted back to factory ones

Hey joenaples,did you try removing the cartridges and put them in back?when doing that press each cartridge firmly near the lock until you hear a click for each cartridge,the chip on the cartridge's has to ground properly for the printer to recognize it,worth a try,it works for me..

You did not provide the printer model. Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer. (ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.) If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

My first thought is did you remove all the tabs that cover the ink cartridges? Also are you sure this is correct cartridge for your printer. My Canon MX892 works fine with these cartridges in spite of what Amazon posts on their sale page. I did purchase another brand of cartridges (black) which leaked all over my printer's insides, but, again, these worked fine. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about your problem, I never had any problem with mine recognizing the ink cartridges. I have ordered 2 different package deals and they both have worked. I would say that you have a problem within the printer itself. To have it fixed would cost more than getting another one. Unless it's still under Warranty.

Replacing them one at a time. Turning on and off the printer. The first set I got was different than the second set. If not, try messing with it a bit. If you still can't get it to work, return it.

I am sorry that I never saw this question. I did not have any problem with these cartridges. However, I have tons of problems with my Canon printer and would love to chunk it against a wall and buy a new one.

Feedback indicates that these work fine in some Canon printers, but maybe not in others. Has anyone tried these in a Pixma ip4700? Thanks.

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 :)

It's my understanding that Canon printers will not recognize refilled cartridges. In fact, I know it, because I tried the same thing. You are stuck with them and will have to purchase Canon inks. Where did you get them and did they represent them as working with Canon? Oh, and by the way, my Pixma 450 went to the recycler over a year ago. Currently using HP 3510.

I had that happen. I had to take the ones out I had in. put different ones in. Then later when I put the original ones that didn't work- they worked. It had something to do with how the cartridges snapped in.

Did you contact the seller for support? It sounds like it could be a bad chip on the cartridge. A replacement should solve the issue.
