Waste absorber is full ip5000 and also ip200

Beware that doing the below may cause other issues with your printer - your waste absorber can overflow and spill ink into your printer causing more issues. It is best to replace this component via an authorised repair center or at least try and clean it out.

Give this a go, with the printer off, press and hold the resume/cancel/stop button, now press and hold the power button.
While holding the power button, release the resume/cancel/stop button.
While still holding the power button, press the resume/cancel/stop button 2 times and then release both buttons.
The power light should be on. Press the resume/cancel/stop button 4 times and then press the power button.

This should reset your Waste Absorber count, at least it does on my MP830 and also Pixma 4200.
