Thank you Christa for your reply. I was able to solve my problem this morning with a Techsupport agent from Canon over the phone. I needed to install the printer ink-head first, which I was unaware of. Once, the agent walked me thru step by step I was able to install all cartridges and it's been working great. Thanks you all.
