Hello, 
I have checked your post and have found this problem for a similar canon that might help you:
"Here's the steps for reseting "Waste Ink Full" problem 

Step 1: Manual for Service mode (1st method)
1. Unplug POWER and USB cables.
2. Open door, PRESS and HOLD the POWER button.
3. Connect the POWER cable. 
4. Close door, then release POWER button.
5. Power ON your printer a usual (It should not blinking anymore)

Step 1: Manual for Service mode (2nd method)
1. Unplug POWER and USB cables.
2. PRESS and HOLD the POWER button, 
3. Connect the POWER cable.
3. Release the the POWER button
4. Power ON your printer a usual (It should not blinking anymore)


Step 2 : Software for Permanant (1st method) 
1. Reconnect the USB cable and turn ON your Printer
2. Open "General Tools for iP1000", 
http://www.printersiam.com/data/download/iP1000%20Service%20Tool.zip 
3. Select (USB PORT)
4. Choose (SET DESTINATION 1) 
It should be reseted already, but somehow it start blinking again if you ever unpluging AC POWER cable. So try the 2nd method by using ServiceTool for IP1500

Step 2 : Software for Permanant (2nd method)
1. Reconnect the USB cable and turn ON your Printer
2. Open "General Tools for iP1500",
http://www.printersiam.com/data/download/iP1500%20Service%20Tool.zip 
3. Select (USB PORT)
4. Choose CLEAR WASTE INK COUNTER - MAIN 
5. Choose CLEAR WASTE INK COUNTER - PLATEN"
