How to Change the Ink Cartridges in a Canon PIXMA Printer

The Canon PIXMA range is a popular range of photo printers that give people an affordable and convenient way to print out professional looking photographs at home.

Canon claim that the PIXMA range is designed to use less ink then other similar printers, and that the process of changing ink cartridges is a quick and simple one.

Canon Pixma printers are all different in their method of allowing you to change the ink cartridges within them. Depending on the model you own, the way in which the cartridges are replaced will differ.

How to change the ink cartridges in a Canon PIXMA printer:

Before you start you will need to have purchased ink cartridges that are compatible with this model of printer. If you are yet to do this then you can find the right cartridges here: Canon Pixma Ink Cartridges.

1. The first step is to carefully open the printer cover and make sure it is properly propped open using the support brace located on the right side of the cover.
2. Next, you are going to need to remove the new ink cartridge from its container (making sure not to throw the container away yet as it is a useful place to store the used cartridges!)
3. Remove the strip of protective tape from the new cartridge so that the print nozzle and electrical contacts are revealed.
4. Your printer should have a printer cartridge slot that is labelled ‘B’, this is where you will place a new black ink cartridge.
5. Push the cartridge up and back into this slot until you feel it click into place
6. Next, you repeat the above process with the colour cartridge, except that you are placing this cartridge into the slot labelled ‘C’.
7. Remove the support brace from the cover and place the printer lid into its closed position.
8. At this point there should be a green flashing light in the top of the printer, if this is not visible you have not installed the cartridges in the right way.
9. After this green flashing light has become a constant ‘1’ you will be ready to print.
