There are only 3 possibilities:
  1. You inserted the cartridges incorrectly
  2. The cartridges are defective or incompatible with this printer
  3. The printer is defective

Number 1 is unlikely, since you've indicated that you've done this before. It's advisable nevertheless to review the instructions, on this manual page: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/275574/Canon-Pixma-Mg2120.html?page=2#manual. Regarding number 2, make sure you have the Canon brand cartridges, per page 3 of the same manual. If not, return and replace them. If number 3 remains, invoke your warranty if it's within the warranty period. (Use the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/canoncustomer-service.)
