I've got a Canon Pixma MP470 (dont judge me!) and I had the 1st set of ink cartidges for quite a few months, just using it for printing uni work.
Eventually it said the cartidges were low, but I kept printing till it could barely make a mark as I really didnt want to buy more ink.
So eventually I think I want to print some photos, so I take the cartidges down to the shop, get some refills and glossy paper, put the cartridges in, and it says "ink low"
So I try and print a photo anyway, A4, high settings etc, comes out pretty nice, a little darker than expected, but none the less fine. I print about 5 photos with it still complaining of low ink, then yesterday I come to print another and it says the ink is empty!
Now I know I should have probably thought "hold on" when I put the new cartridges in and it still complained of low ink, but being it printed so well I figured its just the norm (me and printers have a abusive history) but now its refusing to print atall.
I'm planning to head down to the shop and ask, but I figure it will end up involving me carrying it down to the shop, so I thought I'd see if anyone else on here has any 'quick fixes' or a way to neutralise the ink sensor
Thanks in advance
