Canon PIXMA G3270. Yellow and black tanks are filled above the line, but the printer still shows the raindrop icon with a crossed-out circle. I have restarted it, held the Stop button, and tried the app. No error code appears.

Meaning of the Ink Drop Icon with Crossed-Out Circle

The ink drop icon with a crossed-out circle on the Canon PIXMA G3270 indicates an issue with the ink tank. Specifically, it means that:

The ink tank is empty: There may be no ink left in the tank.
The ink tank is not installed properly: The tank may not be seated correctly in the printer.

Troubleshooting Steps

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Check Ink Levels: Open the printer and inspect the ink tanks to see if any are empty.
Reinstall the Ink Tank: If the tank is not empty, remove it and reinstall it securely to ensure proper contact.
Perform a Nozzle Check: After addressing the tank, print a nozzle check pattern to confirm that the printer is functioning correctly.

By ensuring the ink tanks are full and properly installed, you can eliminate the warning indicated by the icon.
