Had trouble getting the cover off. Now the black cartridge won't install properly. What should I do?

I never had a problem with that. The only problem I ever encountered was that my digital broke and didn't recognize ANY cartridges installed whether brand name or otherwise.

Luckily I haven't had that problem but its best you contact the company you bought them from. One minor issue I had was when I received my ink, some of them were leaking a little in their individual bags.

I haven't had that happen to me. You may have damaged something, on the cartridge, I mean. Sorry. I have had good luck with all of mine so far.

I occasionally had trouble with a few of these alternative ink cartridges but enough were usable to make re-ordering economical. HOWEVER, the last time I ordered, one of the cartridges had "exploded" in the shipping package. Luckily I hadn't installed it into my printer but it would have been a mess. I never took another chance.

I hooked mine up and had the same problem. There's an adjustment on the cartridge that should fix the problem. It should be on the instructions. I thought mine was broken and after the adjustment it's been fine ever since.

Take it out and gently shake the cartridge. Try it again. If not, the cartridge might be defective and you need to return it.

Sorry, I have not had an issue changing toner cartridges, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Did you pull all of the protective plastic tabs off of the cartridges? Try tipping the cartridge back and forth a few times to loosen the toner. One time my printer kept saying the paper was out when it wasn't. I turned off both the printer and the computer and rebooted them. That seemed to fix my problem. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I think your second cartridge is not working. I had the same thing happen. I just ordered a new cartridge. Hopefully the next one will work. Or I will be returning it.

I didn't have this issue but did your run the calibration program and check installation if Cartridges are installed correctly with tape removed.

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 may have to remove the cartridge ant take off any protective film etc. There is an instruction manual. However, you may also have got a used cartridge from your seller. You may want to search online for the product support telephone number and they may better assist you.

Ensure you've removed the plastic cover over the connection. Otherwise you may have a bad cartridge.

Insert each cartridge slanted towards the front and press there before rocking it down pressing in the back. I used to have the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter what order you put them in, ex. you can replace any of them without removing any.

You do not have to remove any screws or take off the back. Just slide paper guide to the rear and remove. Flip out ink cartridge and replace with new one. Replace paper guide. That's it

Make sure the print head which receives the cartridge is not loose. The print head also snaps into place. Be sure it did not come loose.

I'm sorry I'm unable to help you. I returned the item for refund so never had to replace the cartridge.

You will want to make sure that the cartridge is seated properly. I have had them stick up a bit. If that doesn't work, contact the helpline. Good luck!

The best way I have done this is keep an empty cartridge in the color slot and a full black in the black slot.. Since it wont work with an empty slot. Black on Black may cause problems.

I would take the cartridge out and make sure it appears to be in good shape and reseat it then try again. If that does not help I would call Canon they were very good to me when I first had mine and they may replace you cartridge for free.

Try to replace the chip (as a counter). That may help to extend the cartridge life.
