You can try one chip on one cartridge at a time. Say starting from PGI5. Just put any one chip on it and plug it in. If the printer says wrong cartridge then try another chip. Repeat untill you get the correct chip for it. Once it is right keep it in the printer then do the same for another cartridge. You can get all sorted out within 30 minutes I bet. As long as you don't plug in cartridges in wrong slots in terms of colors you can get the chips sorted out when the printer stop saying wrong cartridges.
