Here this step by step to resetting waste ink counter Pixma MP130. However remember that this can cause damage to your printer unless the ink absorber pads are replaced. The reason the printer has this is to keep the pads from becoming too full and then dumping the ink inside the printer. So i highly recommend to order the pads replace them then reset the counter. However if you are in a 911 situation then you can use the following to print a few more pages before you have to replace. Just BE WARNED.
Turn printer back on and it should be reset. Good luck sometimes this does not work on certain printers with higher firmware so try thanks

SOURCE: How to fix "Ink Absorber Full"??
The ink absorber is a small piece of material that is used to hold the ink that is scraped from print heads on the ink tanks during cleaning. I suggest, wearing gloves of course, removing the material, which resembles a sponge, and cleaning it with warm water. Allow sufficient time to dry, clean the sensor with a cotton swab, and reinstall. Remember to change the ink tanks at the same time, in order to reset the ink counter. There are new absorbers available for purchase on the web, if you don't want to clean the old one. Others have had similar problems, Canon suggests sending the equipment to them for repair.

I tried a few times... I have done this alot to many different canon printers. This is what worked for me.
1. Unplug AC (and usb just for good measure)
2. Hold Start while plugging in...
3. While still holding Start press Resume twice.
4. This then allows for Removal of Ink Cartridges(if you are past the limit)... a very important step apparently.
5. Now repeat Step 1... Step 2
6. Now press the Resume 4 times (only blinks for 1st two presses !)
7. Should be ready...
Good luck. I was very happy when this worked for me.

A special service software program is needed to reset the internal counter for the ink absorber.
