Hi rSquar3d,
I know this is an old thread, but could you please help me with the solution you found. My refilled catridge (Canon ip1980) has the exact problem, the refill guys threw away the sticker and it is not working any more. Worse, I bought an original black cartridge and that too is not working because the printer 'cannot recognize colour' cartridge. Knowing how expensive these stupid ink catridges are, is there any way I can make it work without the sticker on top (or is there anyway around, like printing a replacement sticker, maybe?) (My Cartridge without sticker is is CL831).
I have tried almost everything including reinstalling drivers and re-setting it many times. But you are the only guy whose answer actually made sense. Thanks a lot because now I know there is no point in doing anything else without that stupid sticker on top of it.
Please help!
