Canon MP250 Replacement Ink

[DylanS]

I bought a replacement non Canon cartridge for my MP250. The ink in the original had run out but it was still printing although unreadable. I replaced it with the new one but I keep getting the "not recognised" message. I have tried resets and also the tip I found about putting sticky tape over the contacts but still getting the E14 message. Can anyone help other than suggesting that I send it back, or that compatible cartridges don't work.

Thanks

It's cheaper to throw it away & buy a new printer.  I see that one was $38 at Walmart.
