PIXMA MX870 Ink Absorber Issue + Canon Upgrade Program

[blackpawphoto]

I have an old pickup truck of a printer here. It's been serving me will since 2010 actually. Now I've finally encountered this ink absorber warning and after searching around it seems that there's no really good solution for it. So my question isn't on how to fix it, but rather - does this issue qualify me for the Canon upgrade program? If so, how does one take part in that program. Really hate to toss this machine, it just works!

Thanks for any advice/help.
