Canon Pixma Mx880 Mac To Disable

I noticed that my Ink Supply Level feature is not working and was told that the Canon cartridges have chips in them that allow this feature to function.

Assuming the 3rd party refil cartridge does not have the chip, but when I put the original (emptied) Canon cartridge back in, it still shows no information for any of the cartridges supply level.

The original chip should still function showing empty Also, is there a way with Mac to disable the supply level feature to bypass it from shutting down the printing and finally, is there a way that I can print black only (without using any color cartridges) as the use of colored ink is excessive.

Thanks in advance.

I use Safari as my browser and print either from the internet or from the Pages app.

In order to restore the ink level detection a new, genuine Canon brand tank should be installed.

You would not be able to use the printer with only the black ink installed.

However, using the grayscale setting in the print menu will allow you to print items in black and white.

If additional assistance is needed, find more help at Contact Us.

Even if the grayscale option is checked in the printer driver, if the original text is in a color other than black, the PIXMA MX882 will combine the cyan, magenta and yellow ink tanks together to make a composite black.

To use only the black ink tank, the original text must be black and the paper setting must be set to Plain Paper.

In regards to the black ink tank, once the ink tank is empty, it cannot be reused in the printer, even if it is refilled.

All of the ink tanks must contain ink in order to use the PIXMA MX822.
