I have a CANON iP4500 printer, a few years old now but more than sufficient for what I use it for.
Recently however, it has been whinging about its Ink Absorber being a problem..and having to press a RESUME button to make it print.
Now it has decided to take strike action and now declares the Ink Absorber as beingfull....and to contact the Service Dept.
I had it apart the first time, and can't see or feel any sensor probes going into the pad (It soaks up the ink from a Head Clean) so I reckon it must be based on some 'count' cleaning cycles or number of start-ups or... a need for CANON to sell me a new one.
Anyone know of a simple way to reset this function?
I suspect a new printer or two is on the way... pity, as I've got the RIHAC external ink tank system on it... Saves a fortune.
Saw a cheap laser in Dick Smiths, under $50. - Would be ok for the mono stuff I do, like bits of the RAVE manual.

Every Inkjet printer has an absorber preset in them. Unfortunately the part costs about $ 5.oo but to get someone to "service" your printer and reset the codes will cost you about $100.
Do yourself a favor and look at a new printer. I bought a new color laser printer for $ 100 on ebay and it works a treat for photos. I also run a brother injet for crap print jobs.

At work we have the exact same printer.
This week it's come up with the exact same issue.
Conspiracy theorists, eat your heart out.
