hello friends, im new here and i believe its a magical forum, im totally messed up with my printer due to lack of experience or knowledge, my exams going to start in 10 days so i have to print lots of pages..
i have an old cannon pixma mp145 printer which was not in use from last two years(as other source was available) so i just done some dusting and connected it to power source it was displaying E5 error code on display i thought it is because of cartridges since they were not use from two years or they become empty when i left printer so this time i decided to refill the cartridge as new pair of cartridge were costing me about 2100rs which givies near about 250 pages only, i tried with black one(pg-830) only as only b&w pages i needed also giving me message "the following ink cartridge cannot be recognized black because it may not be properly installed or not compatible with printer", when i tested to print so i purchased a black pigment ink bottle from a local shop of cost rs80, as i was going to refill a cartridge for first time i visited youtube and viewed many videos related to refilling that cartridge finally i refilled it neatly and accurately. finally i properly installed the cartridge inside the printer and powered it on, unfortunately same error E5 was displaying so i further googled that error and come to the conclusion that i will have to reset my printer to replace E5 by 1, i did my best and now 1 is displaying on the LED but still when im sending something to print, giving me same message, print cannot be execute because cartridge is not installed properly or not compatible with printer even i repeated in and out of cartridge many times....
