Open up printer cover. Search for button on printer with ink drop printed on it or near it. Press that button, and print head will move to position from where you can change ink cartridges. To get one cartridge out, pull a small lever on cartridge end and it will pop out. To put new cartridge in, just get it into position and click it in.

my printer will not print out anything. it starts to but the paper never enters into the printer, it is almost like it is jamed but it isn't.

The message says there is an error, push resume and try again.. same thing, it starts to push paper thru.. acts like a jam.. same message.. but paper is not jammed

Please check if there is not some dirt, or something blocking the contacts from reading. Also the ink level is measured by optical sensor that can also be dirty.
Also make sure you use an Original Canon cartridge.

You can't reset the ink level on all Canon Pixma printers.You need to turn off the function on printer to show the ink level.On most printers this happen with push resume button and hold it for 5 seconds.
The printer shows empty cartridges but it will printing.

use the win98 driver for canon IP2200 (v 8.60, b5909enx.exe, 7027 kb, canon homepage). it seems to work on IP2600, at least for basic printting.
