I have a Canon ImageProGraf Pro-300 and I now have the dreaded 5B00 Support Code and the printer has stopped.  Four questions:

1. How can I empty or clean the ink absorber

2. How can I gain access to the ink cartridges when the printer has stopped and they are resting in their 'home' position over to the right?

3. Is there a service center that can 'restore' the ink absorber to it's original condition?

4. Is there a way to perform this cleaning by the owner?

I have printed over 7,000 pages in a year and a half, which worked perfectly until it stopped.  I know I am out of warranty.

Let me know your thoughts and ideas.

Thank you

Steve
