How do you reset the Canon MG3122 to show the correct ink level after a refilling black ink from Inktec? It still shows the ink level as low.

Unfortunately, I haven't figure out how to reset the level on my printer yet. But I know some canon printers can reset the printing count by pressing "stop" button. I haven't faced much difficulty in not knowing the ink level, because if a color is completely out, words/images using the color will not show at all. So for instance, when I tried printing out an essay one day, the black ink was out. So all I got from the printer was blank sheets of paper.

I refill my mp530 cartridges with Inktek ink, but I bought a cartridge resetter from an auction site. With this little item, it is very simple to reset the cartridge, and the printer reads the refilled cartridges just like oem.

Here's the post: I purchased the Canon MP530 and have had very good results so far. All the bad reviews about the ink cartridges are by people who gave up on the printer without a simple Google search to fix the problems. You can disable the Print Monitor all together so that the printer will work no matter how low the ink levels are. This is helpful when you refill the ink cartridges yourself, as I have done. Canon would love you buy their tanks every time they go low, but you can refill them yourself; but you must turn off the print monitor because the printer thinks it's tanks are empty even though you've refilled them. Do it this way: 1) go to "maintenance" tab on print properties 2) select "View Printer Status" from the bottom 3) Click "Option" and deselect "Enable Status Monitor" -- That Simple! A minor annoyance that doesn't warrant a one-star rating from other users. I really like this printer!

In reference to the low ink notice on printer. It's misnomer the cartridge does that when there is normal ink remaining because it is substitute from canon. I called the company ,they explained that when you get low ink sign ,simply press reset on the printer and it will correct the situation.

Just had the same problem about 3 or 4 months ago. I went through all manual instructions and web suggestions. Clean head, run goofy printer maintenance etc. Just barely prints black and no color. Would be nice if their software would just fix their stinking printer. Was speaking to my ink guy (he has become rich off my Canon ink needs) and he said he would try to fix for free. Yes, scared me also. I am taking next week and if he can I will try to determine what he did and let you know. Otherwise it is just a rotten Canon printer. Almost makes you think they have a program that checks the date and when a certain date .... Maybe I am getting paranoid.. but after using a PIXMA that can happen.

Had the same issue with the Black Ink cartridge but the Color worked fine. Contacted vendor through Amazon and they sent me another Black Cartridge at no charge. The new one did not work either. Contacted the vendor once again and got a full refund for the Black Cartridge which was more than enough to order it from another supplier that had one which worked. Up side was I did not have to return anything. You might want to try another black cartridge from somewhere else? Dunno your printer. My printer was able to tell me which cartridge was not working. Good luck!

Mine did the same thing. I contacted the supplier and they told me how to override it. I did that and it did not help, so they replaced my order. I was quite happy that their customer service was so good. This cartridge lasted a little longer, but I got the low ink message again. I overrode it and it is still going. I don't know if this is a cartridge issue, or just a flaw of this particular printer. Fortunately, I don't do a lot of printing or it would definitley be an issue.

My NX 230 will not read the ink levels in these cartidges. It reports that the new cartridges are empty and need to be replace. However, it seems to be dispensing the ink correctly! I just have to live with the light that indicates a low cartridge. We'll see how long this will last.

I had found the same. It does seem that the Canon printer starts telling you the ink is low after a few pages. Having said that, I will admit it has printed longer on low ink than it usually has... Still I bought 2 name brand cartridges to replace it with. I will not be straying off brand again. You get what you pay for.

When I used generic cartridges, sometimes the printer accepted it and sometimes it would not. So here's what I did: I saved all the original Canon ink cartridges that came with the new printer and then purchased a 2nd set of Canon cartridges (at a discount on eBay). When the originals were getting low on ink I then installed the 2nd set. I then "refilled" the first set with bulk ink from printerfillingstation.com. It's a Christian business that sells superior bulk ink at a discount for your particular model. When the 2nd set started to get low, I replaced it with the "refilled" cartridges. This worked because all the cartridges have the original Canon "chips" on them and you always have refilled cartridges on hand. The only thing you "must" do is monitor your installed cartridges every couple of months, so that ink does not completely run out. This is easily done because the cartridges are in clear plastic. Refilling the cartridges is also a learning process, so be patient, follow the instructions carefully. The rewards are worth it as I am now on the 3rd refills from the same sets of cartridges and my printer is working just fine.

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

When I try to check the ink supply levels on my Mac, it says "Information Not Available" and won't let me see which ink colors are full/empty. Does anyone know why this might be? I can print from my Mac, so I know that the wireless connection between my computer and the printer is working.

I've been refilling my ink cartridges and had three different kinds of experiences with the same printer. 1) If you keep an ink tank topped off, it doesn't seem to know you've been adding ink and behaves rather well. 2) If you fill a tank just before it goes empty, the printer gets confused. The "gas gage" for that tank says the "tank may have run out", but it shows that you added ink. 3) If you wait until a tank runs dry and then fill it, the printer won't use the ink until you accept the fact that you are voiding the warranty. Apparently, the printer then remembers that the waranty has been voided, and it no longer tracks the ink level for that tank. I used to be an engineering manager at HP's inkjet division. Don't be afraid to refill tanks. It only takes a few refills to save enough money to buy your next printer. (Be sure to use Canon compatible ink. They are easy to find on the web.)

On the printer you can press the setup button (has a picture w/ wrench on it below display screen). Then, select option one which is "ink level".

I got the same error code. I checked the ink levels & found that the black was low & needed replacing.

I had an Epson Workforce 610. I was able to get a few of my ink cartridges to reset, but for most of them I was unable to get them to reset. The ones that I did get to reset was holding the nine pins against the the nine terminals on the resetter watching for the light to turn from red to green. The guide they sent with my resetter would not line up with the nine pin cartridge. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
