hello,

My printer model is Canon MP282. I wasn't using it for quite a while and it shows the error message that it cannot RECOGNIZE the cartridge (Err05).
I bought a NEW BLACK cartridge.

When I insert cartridges C (color) and B (black) the orange LEDs for B and C are blinking, like so:

insert C only -> blink B
insert B only -> blink C
insert C+B -> blink C+B

E05 appears every time


My question: with the new black cartridge and an old color cartridge -> shouldn't only C blink to indicate that B is recognized?

not sure if I buy new C cartridge or new printer 

p.s.: I had E05 once in a while and cleaning the contacts on cartridge and printer helped ... not this time, though On older printers its best to replace both cartridges at the same time...then run clean OPERATION 3 times.I was looking into the manual and it states that the two orange led, left and RIGHT, indicate the status of C and B ink empty, respectively. With the new B ink I bought right led should not blink, theoretically  the software also states that black ink is empty 

i updated driver & software to the latest still nothing changed.

how long was the printer idle for?
have you run the cleaning processes?
there may be dried ink clogging a nozzle or the printhead or something.
did you get refill cartridges, and non-genuine, as they can sometimes be non-detected by the printer.Printers are the new Bic lighters...when they run out of butane throw them away
