About Canon iP 1200 and iP 1600

Q: Canon IP1200 and IP1600 Cartridge Not Recognized
A: Just reboot your computer and printer, it should accept the cartridge then.
I use hibernation, that was the problem.

Q: How To Install Refilled Cartridges
A: The Canon IP1600 does not accept refilled cartridges without the status monitor on the
printer driver being disabled. To disable the monitor, follow the instructions below and then
the refilled cartridge will be accepted and allowed to print.
Step 1 – Access the Driver Settings
1. Click on the start menu
2. Go in to Control Panel
3. Click on Printers and Faxes
4. Right click on your printer (Canon IP1600)
5. Go down to properties
6. Then click on maintenance
Step 2 - Click on ‘View Printer Status…..’
Step 3 - Click on Option
Finally, click on enable status monitor. This will turn off the monitor and allow you to use
refilled ink cartridges.
If at any time you get the ‘Ink out’ message on your PC a light under your power button on the
printer will flash. To continue printing, simply press the button and click the close button on the
warning (marked X).
You may need to do this a few times also run the printhead alginment page after.
