There are two possible reasons for an error ink absorber full. First, is
the ink absorber pads is actually full of waste ink and needs cleaning. The second is to reset the
printer to clear the error and let the printer print again.
Clean the two absorber pads. Its
is actually two absorber pads located on the right side of the printer, under
the ink cartridges when it is in home base position.
How to access the
pads and remove it for cleaning?
Turn on the printer. Lift the top cover to
expose the ink cartridges. As soon as you lift up the cover the cartridge
carrier will move away from its home base.. Then the pads will be exposed. It
will be a dirty job so be prepared with your tweezer and extra cloth for some
ink spill. Using the tweezer, lift up the pads sitting on a rubber retainer.
The pads can be easily clean by placing it under a running water. Warm water
will be nice to remove the ink from the pads. After this, you can now return
the pads. However, the problem will not be solve especially if you are
currently facing the waste ink absorber full error.

SOURCE: receive message "ink absorber is full" upon trying to print
I had the same problem with a canon printer, when I phoned tech help they advised that it had come to the end of its lifespan but my son located the absorber sponge thing and washed it out with soapy water, left it to dry and now printer works perfectly..... warning this was a very messy job and loads of newspaper was required to cover surrounding area but saved me a fortune with not having to buy a new printer sara

you are correct about the waste ink tank,did you check the pipe (if any)which use to carry the ink to waste tank,if it is clogged than also the problem will arise.
