Changing ink in Cannon Printer   
I have a Cannon Pixma ip1700 printer. I just changed the ink(why do you have 
to push with all your might to insert the cartridges?) Anyway, got both of 
hem in and the light on top tells me they're in there right. WhenI check in 
the printer properties, it still tells me both cartridges are almostempty. I 
just bought these. Can someone tell me what else I might not be doing? I 
would really apreciate some feedback. Thanks in advance.

I don't know your particular printer, but the combination of "why do
you have to push with all your might to insert the cartridges?" and
"it still tells me both cartridges are almostempty" suggests to me
that you inserted them incorrectly. It should not take a lot of force.

By the way, for the future, please note that this is not a Windows
Vista question, and really doesn't belong here. You should ask a
question like this in a printing hardware newsgroup.

Some Canon printers require you to reset the ink levels when you put new 
cartridges in. This is done from the printer driver under the Maintenance or 
similar tab.

Re: Changing ink in Cannon Printer   
Are they genuine Canon ink cartridges and not third-party refills?

Re: Changing ink in Cannon Printer   
Did you remember to take the little plastic sealing strip off first?   Are 
they in the right way around?
