What to do when printer shows error message even when the ink is full in cartridges?

The Canon Pixma MX885 printer is a highly recommended printer for those of you who often print images and photos. It works great for home and small workplace users. It uses Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges as consumables. The printer offers good print quality but you might notice that the printer is giving an error message of no ink in the cartridges even when the cartridges are not empty.

This problem common happens when you purchase remanufactured ink cartridge. The printer will read it as empty or low ink. On the ink cartridge, an ink monitoring chip is present. This chip is designed for a single time use only so when the cartridges are remanufactured, the printer will not necessarily read it as a new cartridge. Though the company recommends the use of Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges but do not worry when this happens. The ink cartridges are indeed full and can be used for printing. Ignore the message that is shown on the screen. Click OK or Continue and print.

If your printer does not print, you will see an error message that says inks has run out. Press Resume, Color Start or Stop/Reset button for 10 to 15 seconds. This is done to bypass the error messages. The printer will resume printing by shutting off the ink monitor.

If the problem persists then replace the old cartridges with new Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges that can be purchased online as well. Take the old ink cartridges out of the printer by pressing the release lever. Place the new ones into the color slots of respective colors and press till it clicks. The cartridges have now been installed. You can close the lid of the printer and press Reset button and resume printing.

Canon Pixma MX885 Questions:

Q. For my small office work purpose, I’ve been using Canon Pixma MX885 printer since last few months. Though the printer supports double-sided automatic document feeding, it costs me more. Is there any possible way to reduce the cost related to printing?

This might be possible that the ink cartridges you are using for your printer are of high-cost which eventually increases the overall cost of your printing function. Instead of using original ink cartridges, you can look forward for the compatible Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges. These cartridges will cost you much lower than the cartridges you are using, producing good quality prints.

Q. When I print through the Canon Pixma printer, nothing gets print or can say print results are so blurred, even the colours printed were wrong. I don’t know why I am getting such results. Can you please help.
A.
This type of problem occurs mainly when the paper and the print quality settings aren’t appropriate. Confirm that the setting matches the type of media used. Also, check the status of the ink tanks, generally print quality issues are due to either clogged nozzles or because of the Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges that ran out of ink. When remaining ink cautions or errors occur do the needful.

Q. What can I do, if ‘the printer is offline’ message displayed in networking printing?
A.
In networking printing, if this message is displayed, ‘Use Printer Offline’ option may be enabled. In this case, try out the following.

  • From the control panel, select your printer model in [Devices and Printers], [Printer], or [Printers and Faxes]
  • Click on to check, what is printing
  • Also, check whether to use the printer offline is enabled or not
  • If ‘Use Printer Offline’ is enabled then disable it.

A.
We at printerinkcartridges.ie supply the range of Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges that are both original as well as compatible. With trusted results, you do not have to compromise with the quality even if you go for the compatible ones.

Q. Can you please let me know, What media types I should not use for printing?
A.
For the printing purpose do not use the paper that is too thin or thick as using such type of paper will not only result in unsatisfactory prints but also jam the machine. We recommend to not use the following type of paper.

  • Folded, curled, or wrinkled paper
  • Damp paper
  • Paper that is thinner than a postcard which includes plain or notepad paper
  • Picture postcards or postcards with photos
  • Envelopes with a double flap
  • Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface
  • Envelopes whose gummed flaps are already moistened or adhesive in nature
  • Paper with holes or one which is not rectangular
  • Paper with adhesives
  • Paper decorated with glitter or is bound with staple or glue etc.

Q. Why do my Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges run out of ink in a week?
A. The amount of ink that most ink cartridges use normally depends upon what you print, quality of the paper and print quality selected by you. Select the Plain Paper for printing in place of photo or other paper type option to avoid excessive ink consumption. Also, keep the print quality set to Fast or Standard and avoid higher print quality setting to conserve ink.

Q. I don’t have the original ink cartridge for my Canon Pixma MX885 printer. If I use a compatible cartridge with it, will the warranty on my printer become invalid?
A. As long as the ink cartridges are compatible with your Canon Pixma MX885 printer and don’t cause any damage to it, the warranty will remain valid.

Q. My Canon Pixma MX885 printer stopped working after I updated my Windows 10 PC through Windows Update. What should I do now?
A. When Windows 10 PC is updated through Windows Update, the connection with the device can be lost. The same must have happened to you. You may also not be able to use some features of the installed Drivers and Software. Please follow the procedure given below to solve the problem:

  • Uninstall the Drivers and Software from your system
  • Go to the Canon’s official site download the drivers for your printer model from their download section. Reinstall these Drivers and Software.

Starting afresh in this way normally resolves the issue.

Q. If I use a compatible ink cartridge instead of the original in my printer, will it print fewer pages?
A. No. On the contrary, compatible cartridges print the same number of pages as an original does, and at times even more.

Q. How long does an ink cartridge normally last? I’m using Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges for my printer?
A. That depends upon a number of factors. If the cartridge is stored properly in its original packaging and kept in a cool, dry place, it is likely to last much longer. Keeping the cartridges in an upright position exactly the way they are positioned in a printer also increases their durability. If a cartridge is used for colour printing frequently, it consumes more ink and can get worn sooner. Please follow these pointers for your Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges.

Q. I’ve been using compatible cartridges in my Canon Pixma MX885 printer. However, the printer works only when I put original cartridges (Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges) in it now. What should I do?
A. This can happen if the printer’s software is unable to detect a compatible cartridge. You might be seeing zero or low ink levels in your printer even though it is full. This problem can also occur if there’s a disruption in the communication link between the cartridge and the printer. You need to clean the surface of the copper contact plate on the cartridge. Please Contact our customer support on telephone 048 30833221 or email us on info@printerinkcartridges.ie, we will be happy to guide you to resolve this issue.

Q. I purchased a compatible Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridge for my Canon Pixma MX885 printer but when I opened the package, I found ink leaking from them. What am I supposed to do?
A. The ink cartridges may have got damaged during shipment. Don’t remove the damaged cartridge from the packaging and don’t install it into your printer.
Contact our customer support on telephone 048 30833221 or email us on info@printerinkcartridges.ie. We will send you a new cartridge along with a postage paid label so you can return the leaking cartridge to us for free.

Q. I’m getting faded printouts from my Canon Pixma MX885 printer. I’m currently using compatible ink cartridges. Will switching over to Canon Pixma MX885 ink cartridges help? Please advice.
A. Before changing the cartridges, please carry out the head cleaning procedure with your printer. It may be facing a blocked head issue. Your printer’s instruction manual or the maintenance platform on your printer will help you perform the head cleaning procedure. If that doesn’t help, then try changing the cartridges.
