Ink Absorber Replacement OptionsThis printer has an ink absorber that takes in ink during the printing and print head cleaning processes. The cleaning process is necessary in order to keep the print head nozzles from becoming clogged. Over the life of the printer, the amount of ink that the ink absorber has absorbed is calculated by the printer. Eventually, after substantial use, the printer will enter an error condition when the ink absorber is nearly full. At this point, printing is still possible. Press the <OK> button to release the error. You will still be able to print for a short period. To protect the printer from damage, you will not be able to print at all once the ink absorber is full.
Canon recommends having the printer serviced before the absorber becomes full. We are aware that there are many "do-it-yourself" Web sites that offer instructions for making this repair. Replacing the ink absorber is a complicated and potentially messy procedure. Even if the ink absorber is successfully changed, the ink absorber counter must be reset. Be aware that if you attempt this procedure, it is at your own risk

Suport code 1702 pxma i cant print

Hi Rolando,
This error relates to the ink absorber being almost full. You should be able to press ok and continue (unless you've already done that in which case, the ink absorber is probably full). http://canontechsupports.blogspot.com.es/2014/09/how-to-fix-error-1702170317041715e08-in.html

I am unable to copy, i keep getting the message "Unable to print 36"

The error message is an indication that the machines ink absorbers are almost full. The ink absorbers hold liquid and dried ink after it has been purged from the print head. These absorbers can control enough ink for the expected life of the machine.

The waste ink absorber is full how to by pass this

Since my last post, I have found the method to reset the counter and stop the error message that the waste ink absorber is ALMOST full. I am not sure if it will work once the error becomes the waste ink absorber IS full.

After cleaning the ink absorbers as instructed in my last post, remove the print head by following the instructions which can be found on-line at www.usa.canon.com. Click on support and enter your model information. Then in the search box enter "remove print head."

After removing the print head, perform the following instructions:
1. With the power turned off, while pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press and hold the Power button. DO NOT release the buttons.
2. While holding the Power button, release the Resume/Cancel button. DO NOT release the Power button.
3. While holding the Power button, press the Resume/Control button 2 times, and then release both the Power and Resume/Cancel buttons.
4. When the Power LED remains green, press the Resume/Cancel button 4 times.
5. Turn the printer off.
6. Turn the printer back on and install the printer head with on-line instructions as described above.

You are now ready to print,
Larry

Personally, I wouldn't do it myself, I'd inquire w/ Canon about how much it would cost to have it done first...
