When you get this on a pixma mx700 (probably also on other models) you can simply override it for a while by pressing "OK". Eventually (after a looong time) the printer will give you an "error 5B00" and get completely stuck. Then you look for instructions on the web on how to do a reset. Then it works again. This worked for me:
Try this: With the power OFF on the printer,
1: press and hold the RESET (or RESUME, perhaps) button (to the right side of the printer's controls/buttons, if I have this right for your model), and at the same time, also press and hold the POWER button too.
2: after a second, release the RESET (or RESUME) button but keep holding down the POWER button...
3: while still holding the POWER button, press and release the RESET (or RESUME) button, two times.
4: Then, after a moment, release the POWER button too, and wait for about 10 seconds or longer for the printer to turn ON and initialize.
5: the printer should now show 'SERVICE MODE' on the LED screen.
6: Press the RESET (or RESUME) button four times, then press the Power button once, to confirm 'Reset Counter Absorber' as an action.
7: After which, if that's what you just got done, you press POWER again to turn OFF the printer.
8: Wait a while, then turn it On again normally, and it should now have the error cleared.
