Canon Pixma MP760 ink absorber full message

familyfitz

Getting the above message - actually nearly full at present - and cannot find anything in manual about how to deal with it. Think from confused messages on internet that may lead to printer not working til dealt with.

But what do I do? And how can I solve it? Cannot be without my printer (teacher) so nightmare.

Can anyone help?

TIA

This is one of the things about Canon inkjets that can make users of their printers very unhappy - Canon do not expect users to fix this problem themselves, and will charge a not insubstantial amount to do it for you.

However, there are plenty of tutorials out there. It's just a question of washing one or more felt pads and resetting the counter in the printer. For example there's this one:

though it doesn't cover your exact model. Try Googling for something like "canon mp760 ink pad how-to" or similar and you should find a better guide. Be prepared for it to be a bit messy, though...

Thanks for the advice. Had had a look by googling and got that impression but before acting thought I would try on here hoping there was another (cheap) route.

Think it'll be a weekend ob then!

Thanks again for quick response.

Don't forget a plastic apron and rubber gloves. Inkjet ink is very pervasive...
