Computer Printer Repair

Problem :

I bought a compatible Dell printer cartridge and it was working fine and now it gives me an error message of 1203. Can anyone tell me what that means? And, what I need to do?

Solution :

I found if you cover a copper contact on the color cartridge the erroe clears and the cartridge works. looking from the contact side for the color cartridhe 2nd row contact 2 from the left. I found if I use an ohm meter from 2nd to 3rd contact I measure 119 ohms. I believe that is a shorted cartridge. If you bought it New I would get it replaced. I use a SMALL square piece of Scotch tape.
