PIXMA TS9521Ca won't recognize any ink cartridges, error code 1660

I've been trying to get my printer to recognize new ink cartridges but I only get error code 1660. One set turns the cartridge red with a light and the new set doesn't but it still isn't recognizing the cartridges. I've taken them out, wiped them, turned the printer off for 10 mins, and put a set of generic cartridges that it had once recognized but now it doesn't. Not sure where to go from here.
