PIXMA TS9020 (2018) error message "Ink absorber is almost full"

My PIXMA TS9020 (2018) is giving me an error message "Ink absorber is almost full".  Can I buy replacement parts and replace it? I dearly love this printer. How much longer do I have with it?

Hi,

While there are replacement absorber pads, a service tool is need to reset the waste ink absorber counter. The Service Tool is only available to authorized service technicians. You can try pressing okay to clear the message but once the absorber is full, the error will no longer clear. 

 If the printer is in it's 1 year warranty, I recommend reaching out to Canon support for your warranty options. You will need to register your Canon gear HERE to access additional support options.

If the printer is out of warranty, you would qualify for the Canon Upgrade program. This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service or are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. This program allows you the opportunity to purchase a replacement product discounted from the list price. Free ground shipping is included with your purchase.

This is profoundly disappointing to have to discard an otherwise good working printer. planned obsolescence. i am grieving.
