Waste ink near full

There is a collection area in the printer that when the print head are not in use they rest over. It usually has a sponge\foam material. It collects excess ink and keeps the print heads clean. Any way, waste ink near full means it needs to be changed.

Waste Ink Near Full on Canon MP730

I dont know the exact process that I have done before, however the trick is to zero your page count, and this worked twice for me. The printer figures your waste ink reservoir (actually a sponge) is near full by a page counter. There are articles out there on how to repair this physically but please dont go there, get a new printer or even better an less used MP730.

Where is a waste ink i have error message says WASTE INK NEAR FULL help me on that, thanks

I have had this problem. There is a counter in your printer that must be reset to move on. The ink tank may not be full, but the counter estimates it is full (and maybe it is an instruction to you to buy a new Canon printer), and to actually empty the ink tank would be an uneconomical task. How do you do it, there are a number of helpers here so Google: MP730 waste ink near full.
