My broken Canon MP500 allowed me to continue printing even after repeated warnings about low ink. Will this printer allow this?

Yes, even after repeated warning I printed documents. However once the ink is gone the quality is really bad. You could probably go at least a couple of months if you don't print daily.

Yes, the printer will still print after low ink warnings. This is a very good printer.

NO! I too bought both a pg-50 and a cl-51 because of the high compacity ink. Now I have two high compacity ink cartridges that do not work in the Cannon MP470. Money down the drain! :(

I just had this happen to me. I called Canon technical service. They talked me through removing ink cartridges, print head, waiting, then trying it again. )Don't do that on your own, there were several warnings along the way about what not to do.) Unfortunately, after I did that, I got the same error message. I was told I have to take it in to a service center. Ugh. Or, there is a "customer loyalty program" they offer with a discount and free shipping on a new printer. Canon number is: 800-652-2666. Customer loyalty program number: 866-443-8002. Good luck

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

No. It warns you when one of the cartridges is getting low, but when that cartridge runs out it won't print at all.

no. If the printer is not explicitly listed as compatible, then it is not compatible.

The best bet is to call Canon 1-800-828-4040. Whenever my printer won't work - for any reason - I call them and they transfer me to the customer support and they walk me through the whole thing. They are very helpful and patient and will stay on the phone for as long as it takes to get the problem fixed. I am not computer savvy and Canon will talk to you in PLAIN English. Hope this helps

The printer will inform you when the ink is low. At this time you should order ink soon.

No, as the printer always reports that the cartridge is out of ink due to the embedded chip in the cartridge.

Another thing you can try, (that has worked for me when ink is so low that printer will not print, yet there's still ink in cartridge), is to place a small piece of duct or masking tape over the clear part of the cartridge. That's where/how the printer itself recognizes ink levels in the cartridges.

My Canon P23-DHV does not give an error message. The replacement ink will just not print out the numbers will continue to operate as if it were.

I received paperwork in my shipment that stated your printer will give you an "empty" notification, because the little computer chip on each cartridge will not work correctly after being remanufactured. There were also instructions on how to bypass or ignore the "ink level warning" on the printer if that warning doesn't allow the printer to print. Give it a try printing a sample page or two. My replacement cartridges have been working just fine. Good luck!

I refill my own cartridges too and the cartridges have a chip in them that tries to prevent them from printing giving you error messages. My printer is a canon and uses the pg 210 & 211. I can hold the stop button on it to override that chip level reading and it will print. For some cartridges you can buy a cartridge reset and that will fix the problem but unfortunately they do not make one for mine. If all else fails, go to YouTube. That is where I found my help when I was ready to chunk my printer off the deck. Good luck!!

I've got a Canon iP4300 which uses the same cartridges as the MP600. When I replaced my ink with generic cartridges (and moved the chip to the generic), I had to hold down the reset button for 5-10 seconds which tells the printer to ignore the error. On the PC, it shows an empty cartridge with an "X" above it, but it prints fine.

You can't you can only press OK when it tells you the ink cartridge is low. Also watch out for the refills, HP will not accept a refilled cartridge. Personally I'm going back to Epson.

I recently encountered the same problem. The printer will not let you continue unless both Cartridges have ink. You most replace the empty cartridge in order for get your printer to work.
