I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine that Canon would make them backwards compatible... So, educated guess would be no.danno78 said:
By all means, give it a shot though, I and many others would doubtless be interested if the result was a yes.

I asked because I have a iP4600 which no longer print wright so I need a new printer with CD printing. I also have a resetter for CLI-521. In these days is hard to get a iP4700. The new printers (iP4850) are easy to find but there is no resetter for them. I wonder if take a new printer can I use my old charts and the resetter?

Have you considered buying a new printhead rather than trying to get a new printer? In the long run it's going to be a better option, assuming your first printhead hasn't blown the printer though.danno78 said:
Almost certainly not going to be possible unfortunately. Canon will have released this new model in large part to make the resetter and cartridges obsolete, forcing you to buy their own cartridges. Of that I feel 100% confident...
Your best bet aside from a new printhead is to look for a refurbished printer or a customer return maybe... There are plenty of them about if you know where to look...
If you can let us know where you are in the world, there's bound to be a few folks who can suggest places to look that will be local enough.
