While I have not yet tried this scenario, I have the feeling that it will scan when ink is low or empty. It printed with an empty cartridge. It might be different without the cartridge installed, empty or not.

Does this often. It's just something you have to deal with. What's even worse is when it dies in the middle of an 8x10. Best thing to do is make sure they are in tight. I am happy with a few failures to save so much on ink. The real reason is the chip set in them. They are making it harder and harder to use none OEM inks.

No. After it runs out of a certain amount of color ink it will absolutely refuse to print, even with a full new black ink when you are trying to print in just black. It's really a rip off and I don't plan on buying one of these again. Right now I have a complete paperweight until I can afford some color ink, even though I never print in color.

I have been trying as you said for a while with the same result. Anyway will do it as meny time needed to re-re-confirm...the printer not aloow me to do anything untill all looks in order so I think I will have to try using the original new EPSON cartrige I have. What is starnge is that the balck ink cartrige is recognized without problem showing full ink at the menu...again only when it recognize all of them....lets see next and thanks for your assist....I will let you know how work if fix this long problem. If not I will have to use the original EPSON cartriges until resolve this matter...

Of course it depends on how much use your printer/scanner/whatever is getting, but in my experience it's like putting a brand new roller in. I have printers than have gone for several years without issues.

My epson is an Artisan 810...I'd have to check when I bought this system, but I am still using it w/o having to refill anything yet. It's such a $ saver. I have notched out the area of my printer where the ink tubes run across so that I can shut my scanner lid w/o squishing the ink tubes and avoid any possible problem as a result. The notching was easy to do with just a small knife. Sorry but I don't know about the model you have. But if it looks like the Artisan 810 it will work with that so it's highly likely to work for yours. If your six colors of ink look like the picture I'd guess it would. Hope that helps.

It has to detect the cartridge before it can print. You can try removal and reinsertion as well as resetting the printer but if that fails all you can do is use another cartridge.

Yep, about the time my printer got to it's third set of ink cartridges it started acting up, it wouldn't print anything red and it went through ink at the speed of light. Rather then spend time, money and my very thin patients on what turned out to be a bad choice in printers, I donated it to my local charity and bought an Epson Workforce 2540 and have been very happy with it's performance so far.....

Your Cannon printer will not print if any of the ink cartridges are empty. I know it does not make sense but it was just built that way. I think they make more money on the ink than they do on the printer.

As a former technology manager, I would have a lot more questions for you. Has the printer worked before? If so, does it not print in any application. There's also the classic - turn EVERYTHING off (PC & printer). If still no good, what about making a copy - pull the USB cable and make a copy - if it doesn't copy - it's either the printer or possibly the ink cartridge is not snapped in properly.

I have never had a problem with printer's ink except once when I was sent an empty cartridge HP.they sent me another immediately .....make sure your cartridge is full.

How about ink usage? Will it print if one of the colors is out? Or, does it completely shut down and make you buy a new color cartridge before it will print again?Thanks.

when you say it doesnt work, can you be more precise? Like it doesnt respond when you try to print something or does nothing show up on the paper when it prints. that kind of thing.

Be aware, if you use ink from any other manufacturer, your warranty will be void. I buy mine through Amazon at decent prices. ~Kat

If you print something that's yellow, does it print okay? One of the most amazing things I've learned recently is that the microchips on the cartridges that send the information to the printer when the ink is low, doesn't actually read when the ink is low. Instead the chips are manufactured to a preset number of prints, so even if you've not used the yellow it says you have. I bought a microchip resetter from amazon a couple of months ago that is going to save us a fortune in ink. Now I reset the chips and watch my printouts myself to determine when the cartridges need replaced. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RFQCS0/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope that helps.

My experience has been that it just stops dead in the middle of a print job if ANY cartridge is "empty". This is very annoying, especially if (as is often with me) I'm only printing B/W.

The part that holds the ink cartridges gets blocked with dried ink if not used regularly. I went to Kodak's site & sent an email directly to their complaint department. They responded, asked me for my mailing address, and sent me a replacement part. I was happy with their quick response but probably won't buy a printer like this one again.
