trouble with bjc 1000

I have been using my Canon BJC 1000 for many years but now have a
problem. I get a popup saying I need an ink cartridge. When this happens
I disconnect the power cord, reconnect and everything works.

Can anyone suggest why this is now occuring?

The printer likes OEM Canon ink and you probably are not using it. The
firmware is set to choke after a while.

That range of Canon printers, are too old to have chipped Carts, so how
would the Firmware know that Non Canon Carts were in.

Get Real.
