Fix Canon Printer Not Printing After Refilling Ink

Printers have taken an essential place in this technological world. We all rely on our computers for printing various vital documents such as advertisements and letters. However, your Printer may stop functioning after you replace the empty ink cartridge. As a result, the machine might not create Prints up to expectations. This issue may occur when the Printer cannot detect the filled cartridges and perceive that it is still empty. This problem may continue when you fill those cartridges yourself. This blog will discuss quick hacks to Fix Canon Printer Not Printing After Refilling Ink. 

Removal of Protective Tape

A print nozzle in an ink cartridge is generally covered with a small strip of protective tape while shipping to prevent any loss. This protective tape does not let the ink oose out or leak during shipping. Without Removal of the tape, the cartridge is not able to print. Now while installing a new cartridge, look for the tape and Remove it. The colour of this tape varies from one model to another. Carefully remove the tape and ensure that no other tape or sticker is ditched as they prevent ink from drying out of ink.

Ensure proper installation of the ink counter

Sometimes printers are not able to read whether the cartridge counter is filled or empty. Many models of printers have reset features that necessitate the Printer to identify the cartridge. For example, canon Printers have a cleaning button or load or eject button depending on the model to make force recognition. First, lift the clamp, ensuring secure handling of ink (do not remove the cartridge). Now shut the clamp and press and hold the load and eject button for 3 seconds. If the process differs for resetting your device, then refer to the printer manual.

Run Extended Cleaning Cycle 

If the cartridge is left in the storage for a long time, it may start drying out. I can also dog the cartridge, and the Printer may not detect the ink. Running extended cleaning cycles can resolve the issue. Press and hold the cleaning button for a few seconds to kick start the cleaning process. Refer to the manual to run the cleaning process. After resetting the Printer, test the Printer by printing a test page. If the issue persists and your Printer cannot print, follow the next step in the series.

Refilling cartridge Issue

Refilling the cartridge saves money but causes many issues like the Printer not printing after reloading issue or lousy quality print, and many more. If you did not fill the cartridge appropriately, your Printer may stop functioning and may not produce any image. Also, when you fill in by yourself, there may be air bubbles, or the ink may not reach the bottom of the reservoir, causing issues. You can quickly fix the problem by injecting more ink into the empty area through exit holes. Air bubbles can be a significant obstacle in the smooth flow of ink, causing blocking ink flow issues. This problem can be cured by leaving the cartridge undisturbed for about an hour and letting the bubbles dislodge themselves. If the problem persists, then remove the cartridge and tap gently on the table. Now print a test print to check whether the problem has gone or not.
