The reset codes are available for many of the Canon printers online. Google
waste ink tank full and the model of your printer to see if there is a
reference to that model. Nifty stuff forum has a thread on reset codes for
some of the canons as does Neil Slade's site. The tank is really an
absorbent pad. In some printers it is very difficult to get at and replace,
and in others a reasonably handy person can do it. I've read that you can
get away with simply resetting the printer memory once without replacing or
cleaning the "tank." Unfortunately, the cost of having a tech do it is
often close to the replacement cost for a new printer. If you want to try
to do the reset code you must do it when you get the warning. If you keep
printing, the models I've read about will stop funtioning and you can not
reset it at that point.
