U163 ? I think the black ink is leaking. This was a new recycled cartridge not that long ago.

Ok sorry. My canon printer is a PIXMAMA MX432 and I would like to know what U163 means, The ink definitely is leaking--from a recycled fairly new cartridge. I suppose I have to just buy a new cartridge and hope nothing is ruined with the ink all over the place.
thanks.

Hi rickey21,

I understand you have a PIXMA MX432 displaying support code U163. This support code indicates the ink has run out. However, I also note that the ink may have leaked inside the unit. Is it possible to provide information or images on the leakage? There is an ink absorber in the bottom back of the unit that may look like a sponge. Any additional details may be helpful.
