Ink absorber Hello, I have 2 Canon Pixmax 4000s, and never had a problem, when does one know when the ink absorber is full? Thanks

Follow instructions on "Neat Tricks!" Ink Absorber Almost Full Neat Net Tricks Remembered

Shelly, Did you reset printer after cleaning absorber.
Press and hold the "Power" button and reconnect the power cord. When the printer comes on, release the button. Wait five seconds and push the "Power" button again. This resets the printer's internal memory and overrides the "ink absorber full" error code.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

How to Clean Canon Ink Absorber

iP1800 ink absorber

Hello,

You have to reset your waste ink absorber by:

1) Unplug power cord.
2) Press and hold power button.
3) While holding power button, insert back power cord. You will notice that the power button indicator lights up upon inserting power cord.
4) Release power button then start printer.

That will solve your "The waste ink absorber is full" message.

Downside is: you may have to do this frequently if your printer looses power. You will understand what i mean.

A thumbs up! is greatly appreciated. :)

Try this:
Waste Ink Tank Reset

1. Turn off printer
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not, press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

This is what the manual says: Ink used for cleaning is absorbed in a waste ink absorber placed in the machine. Press [OK] to cancel the error so that you can continue printing. Once the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be done until the waste ink absorber is replaced.
Canon recommends to contact a Canon service representative as soon as possible.
