PLEASE TRY THIS, Probably your waste ink counter. Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once.
1. Start with printer OFF
2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER
3. Release RESUME
4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER
5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving.
6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER

0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960)
1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print
2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise
3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter

Three choices. 1. Take it in for repair. 2.Take the top off and remove and clean the pad. 3. Use the following instructions to reset the printer and continue printing. I chose number 3 and haven't had any problems.
These are the instructions which worked for me on my Canon ip470 and has work on many other Canon models:

1) Close the print head cover, and turn off the printer. While pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press the Power button. (Do not release the buttons. The LED lights in green to indicate that a function is selectable.)

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/Cancel button three times, and then release the Power and Resume/Cancel buttons. (Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the LED lights alternately in either orange or green, starting with orange.) During initialization, the LED blinks in green.

4) When the LED stops blinking and lights in green, press the Resume/Cancel button the 4 times. (Each time the Resume/Cancel button is pressed, the LED lights alternately in either orange or green, starting with orange.)

5) Press the Power button. The LED lights in green, and the
selected function is performed. (When the operation completes, the printer returns to the menu selection mode automatically.)

6) Power off then back on and test.

The waste ink absober is full. If a service

You really need a service center for that, some have posted methods to reset here, but when the ink overflows it ruins the printer, and anything it leaks on.Canon customer service can tell you the nearest center. 1-800-828-4040.

Ink absober is full error 2 and 7 canon MP 160

it looks like you will need to take to a service center to get it replaced. You probably have used your machine a lot and the waste pads are full.
