canon mx882 error message ink absorber

[gcolter722]

What do I do to solve error message "ink absorber almost full" on Canon MX 882?

Hi gcolter722,

The printer has an ink absorber that takes in ink during the printing and print head cleaning processes.  After substantial use, the ink absorber will need replacing.  We recommend having the unit serviced to have the waste ink absorber replaced. Please call 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays) to obtain your servicing options.  There is no charge for this call.

Where do I find the ink pads? I took out the cartridges and print head but do not see the ink pads.
