Hi

This is a purge unit error hence you need to check and make sure the purge unit is working fine. If not you need to clean it.

THE PURGE UNIT IS THE ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE CARTREIDGE RESTS WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE PRINTER.

And at the same keep the below mentioned error list for your future use.

canon pixma ip1000 printer, how do you access and clean waste ink absorber pad

Ink that leaks from the ink-cartridge goes into an "absorber",
like a leaky faucet will eventually fill any cup, drop-by-drop.

So, take the printer to a qualified printer technician, and get them to "empty" the "full" container.
