Hello,

First let's get your hands, or computer, on an Owner's Manual by clicking here:

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp170#BrochuresAndManuals

This link takes you to Canon's website for your device's model, just click on the 'Owner's Manual' option to download.

As for your question, "Check Ink U053" is an error message and usually means one of two things.

1. The cartridge is not installed correctly - OR - The cartridge you are trying to use is not the correct number to use with your device

Sometimes using an ink cartridge which is not the actual Canon cartridge but says it is compatible with your device should be ok, but not a guarantee.
You may want to install A Canon ink cartridge which display any of the numbers as shown here. If you are using the correct cartridge and are sure they are both installed correctly, then continue to number 2.

2. The print head on the device may need to be replaced. (Fairly simple repair)

You can either do this yourself by purchasing and installing a new print head,
OR take to a service tech for repair. But, only if you believe the prnter is worth it. Otherwise you can buy a new printer altogether for a few dollars more, if this is the issue.

Hope this helps and good luck

Much appreciation to those who acknowledge our members for their contribution toward finding a solution.
