When you replaced the cartridges (guess your using XP) a box should have prompted you to say something similar to: "The front cover has been opened have you replaced the cartridges"?, What you would have to do is go into the main printer settings and reset the ink counter.

if there is no ink in the front of the clear plastic tank, they are not full, they are empty. The sponge area is just used for flow control and does not actually register as usable ink.
Ink level is also an estimate, however since you do have smart chipped cartridges there is no way around the fact that when they do register as empty, you will need to replace them as the printer will shut down.

Some printers will say that they are empty, but will still print anyway. There are a few cartridges out there that have a chip in them to prevent refilling. You can purchase a chip resetter online for (i think) about $15 U.S. dollars. Depends on your specific printer. Do a search for refilling your specific cartridges.

Not much, if these are not genuine Canon ink, then teh chip on it is not talking to the printer.

In your program on your printer reset you ink counter.
I have a canon mp 370 and every time i change the
ink tanks i have to reset the counter.
