PIXMA MP990 - Ink Absorber

[pfei46]

I love my printer/scanner but I'm now receiving a message that the ink absorber is almost full.  Canon no longer supports this printer.  Is there a way to clean the ink absorber or do something so that my printer won't stop working when the ink absorber is full?

Thank you for your response, however, my printer is the MP990.  Does your offer still apply?

Hi pfei46,

Sorry about that. The offer still applies for the Canon Upgrade Program.
