Hello

They look similar in size & appearance but the 550/551 will not work
in my Canon MG7750

Any ideas please
Thank you

Assuming they are chipped cartridges then they won't work in a printer they
are
not designed for even if they are physically identical.


Thank you Tony
the 570/571 carts cost a fortune even the compatible

A quick search indicates that there is a chip resetter for those cartridges so
refilling yourself may be an option.
It is not much fun with some cartridges but easy with others. You would need to
Google the process and decide.


Thank you Tony i will take a look.
I did refill a few years back with the Canon ip 4200, but it burnt out
the print head making me think that the inks were responsible.
Back then i was able to buy a new printer cheaper than a print head!!
