The best thing to do with used printer cartridges is to recycle them. You can drop them off at a local office supply for recycling or contact the manufacturer about returning them.

How much are Canon ip4500 ink cartridges?

It will not show full with refills, so you cannot 'fix it'. Cartridges have chips in them that send information to the printer. Once it has told the printer its empty the printer will continue to recognize it as empty but should still print. Only resetting the chip will help reset ink levels and there is no chip re-setter for your model cartridges available at this time that I am aware of.

Printer Injet Cartridges?

Printer inkjet cartridges seem to have an uncanny ability to run out of ink at the most inopportune times. The way to avoid this scenario is to keep a minimum of one extra set of cartridges on hand at all times. Whenever you replace one or more cartridges, you immediately purchase replacements instead of waiting to buy cartridges when you are completely out of ink. This tactic will eliminate the stress and panic of an empty cartridge at the worst possible time.

Your printer won't print but it is on what do you do?

There may be multiple problems with the printer (or the ink cartridges): Does the printer have empty ink cartridges? If so, put in fresh ones. Did you refill the ink cartridges? Use remanufactured ones? If so, then they may be: overfilled, heads/contacts worn out, ink level detector not reset (on some ink cartridges), etc. Is anything (that's part of the printer or ink cartridges) broken? If so, it may be too broke to work. Are the ink cartridges expired/dry? If they are expired, some printers say they don't detect them, thus they won't print. If they are dry, then they won't print. Try doing a head cleaning. Either with the printer's software, the printer's head cleaner button, or with cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol. Did you touch the ink cartridges (where the printer's/ink cartridges instructions) said not to? If so, clean them. Are the contacts on the ink cartridges/carriages dirty? If so, clean them. Is the paper loaded/inserted? If not, load/insert the paper. Are you using the wrong size/weight/amount of the paper? If so, please use the correct size/weight/amount of the paper. Is the printer communicating with the computer? If not, plug 1 side of the USB Cable into the printer, then plug the other side into the computer. Is the printer on? If not, turn it on. If this doesn't work, plug it in. Then turn it on. Does the printer have a paper jam? If so, clear the jam. Does the printer have objects in it? If so, get the objects out. Is the printer dirty (on the inside)? If so, clean it.
