Canon printer problem?

Question

Answer 1

There are two possibilities.

One: It's possible the Canon printer doesn't actually measure ink levels, it just estimates based on the number of pages printed. Since you are returning the same cartridge to the printer, it assumes the cartridge is still empty.

Two: Possibly the ink in the cartridge has leaked out already. Often times ink refillers can use different consistency ink.
