Thank you so much! This was THE most comprehensive video out there. I am so glad I did not rush out and purchase another printer when this one is in perfect condition. You saved my printing life. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
Thank you for telling us to print something then pull the plug so that the cartridges do not go back to the locked position. Two other videos I watched didn't say that and that is why I was confused on why it was not working with the other two tutorials... Thanks again. It worked :-)
Thank you for this !!! So simple and fixed my problem. I must have been tired and put the wrong color in the wrong slot and was stuck with an error message going crazy unable to fix it.
The only thing the video doesn't tell you is that the B504 error code can happen anytime while the generic ink is installed. We all know why it happens so I won't bore you with that point which you can read all about in any online Canon chatroom. However, what you may not know is that same error message can occur months later after installing one or more of the many generic cartridges out there. A leaking cartridge itself can cause the same error code to appear. My best advice if your someone trying generic ink for the first time is don't ever throw away your OEM cartridges. Even if you waited properly until the ( X ) sign meaning empty appears in the LCD color ink display. Keep the OEM cartridge just in case the error message appears later with a generic installed cartridge. Follow the video to remove the faulty ink cartridge but install it with the OEM cartridge and amazingly the ( Y ) sign will reappear meaning low ink and the printer will start working again. Just wait until the ( X ) sign appears again and install with a new generic cartridge. You may be even able to reinstall the half used generic cartridge removed as long as it wasn't previously leaking. That's the key and it isn't as obvious to spot a leaking cartridge as you might think. Just remember to keep the OEM cartridges as this same routine we just followed may be necessary again 6 months or later down the road. If you have no OEM cartridges left then a hard printer reset may be necessary to fix the problem. However, just know that contrary to popular belief your printer isn't dead . Worst case scenario buy an OEM cartridge and never throw it away when you buy generic cartridges again in the future. The 82% savings you get in buying generic ink in the future will make the extra money spent for buying the OEM backup cartridge in the future well worth it.
