PIXMA MX882 ink absorber is full

[wendysue25]

I am getting a message on my Cannon 882 printer that the 'ink absorber is full.' How do I resolve this?   I don't know where this is located and/or how to replace it.  Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The PIXMA MX882 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them weekdays and Saturdays at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!

@WendySue25,

The printer was released in 2011.  I think its safe to say you've gotten a good return on investment over the life of the printer.  It's time for a new device.  Even if you found someone who could service it, the cost to ship and repair would with certainty exceed the cost to replace it.
