Only Difficulty I had was finding 'Set' Button

This message is inbuilt into most Canon printers, there is spongy thing in the printer which when fills up fires the message (it's mostly a counter in the printer, which can be reset more later...), per Canon this can only be dealt with in a lab but some of the more adventurous have tried cleaning it by themselves.

Note that in a lab they won't clean it, it's a part that needs replacing and it might cost around $60.

In most Canon printers there is a reset procedure that can reset the error and allow you to print some more before handling it again.

Following are the reset procedures for some of the Printers:
(not that F60 isn't listed here)

I have 5 printers of different makes and this has never been a problem with any of the others. May I suggest that you warn all prospective buyers of Canon Printers of this problem. I was never warned this could happen.
