Hello!

I'm an artist and AutoCAD draftsperson. I'm not very experienced with computers but I can manage. I recently purchased a Canon MP530 all-in-one and had occasion to replace the main black ink cartridge. I took it in to get the cartridge refilled (perhaps this was a grave error) and when I got the cartridge home, I inserted it correctly but it started flashing and the level reads as virtually empty, and yet it prints fine. I have read my manual and looked at the website but either I missed this symptom or it wasn't there. I did google the problem and found out that Canon cartridges have a chip that prevents you from filling the cartridge or using generic cartridges. Is there a way I can get around this problem? I just bought a lot of bulk ink and don't really want to return it. Pls adv.
