Knowing printer manufacturers I doubt they even have a sensor to detect that its full at all, they probably based on something crumby like print count. here are some instructions to reset the waste ink tank, the instructions vary so try them until one does the job :

Whenever I want to print the printer(Canon Pixma 3000) comes back with this error 1700, telling me the waste ink absorber is almost full. I guessed it's the sponge at the bottom, so I cleaned it with absorbing kitchen paper, but it still gives this error and suggests to press the resume button. After which it prints. But with every new print the same error is reported.
Anyone any idea? Could there be a sensor clogged up? If so which one and where to locate it?
Exactly as described. It prints but insists on the error message before and after printing. I didn't know there was a "used ink" collector. The machine uses regular ink cartridges.
