Hello!

So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know exactly what model printer you're using (it's usually on the top or front of the unit), any error messages you're seeing, and the Computer Operating System you're using (Windows Vista/7/8/10 or macOS 10.x), as well as the way you connect to your device (USB or WiFi).

Any other details you'd like to give will only help the Community better understand your issue!

If you're in the United States, and this is an urgent support need, please click HERE to visit your My Canon Account to discover your personalized support options.

Thanks and have a great day!

This is a guess since the printer model is unknown.

 

BK triangle is for the black ink cartridge, the OP can confirm.

And the BK light is on and the cartridge is new, i took it out and reinstalled it and light went off, but is now back on and so is error light? How long do cartridges usually last? Ive only used the black to print 2 items ...I've used the color for everything else

Hi Sparky58,

 

The lights next to BK and CL indicate if the ink is low or the ink is out.

 

Blinking means that the ink is low.

 

On steady means that the ink is out and needs to be replaced.
