Printer Not Recognising an Ink Cartridge? Try This!

If your printer does not recognised one of the two cartridges it uses, give this a go. The copper strip with gold contact on the front of the black and tri-colour ink cartridge are used for communication with the printer, ink or dirt over a key contact can cause the printer to not recognise one (or both) at all.
A physical clean like this is often the best solution if your printer has been left unused for an extended period of time. We recommend this tip for any two ink cartridge printers produced by Canon, Hewlett Packard (HP), Lexmark, Dell or even some select Samsung printers.
We hope you have found this short video helpful. We have hundreds of videos for specific printers on our channel, if you wanted any additional help or advice.
Be sure to also keep up with us on Facebook (on. hZ1r4T) and Twitter (bit.ly/gtJNlw).

Gosh, I hope this works. Because it’s ALWAYS my Black large cartridge that is not recognized. Thank you. Not at home currently but will try later.

Yesss ! It solved my issue. I used a coffee filter and sprayed the coffee filter with cleaning spray for my sunglasses and it worked fantastic! Thank you!

Better tip - don't buy inkjet printers in the first place. They are famously a scam.

@@hippohoppa There's no other explanation for cartridges being disabled or not working after the ink is over and been refilled. With some models you are able to just refill the ink with DIY methods but some disable the cartridges completely Edit: I'm no expert but anyone with common sense will understand that these printer brands are monopolizing the little competition they have in this industry Or it might simply be these brands taking care of the customer's printer by preventing over use of print heads leading to poor quality prints. Only God knows that

It worked for me. Previously, I gave my Canon GM2070 to repair, they said your printer need special treatment and had to be sent to the Canon service centre. 😂 Then I just watched your video. Money Saved!

Good tip …This also works on camera lens contacts when the camera refuses to recognise the lens…❤

@emypena 11 ай бұрын

This will work 50% of the time. To increase the chance of working.... also clean the cartridge contacts inside the printer itself

It's as if the printer knows the "new" (refilled) cartridge isn't new and keeps indicating it's empty. Canon's so hell bent on profit. Another thing, how can it be legal for new printers to need your location to work? Smfh!
