The ink Absorber pad is in a container on the bottom of the printer case on the right hand side under the feed roller motor and is connected to the print-head parking pad by a rubber tube.
I don't have a Pixma printer but the ink absorbers are usually located at the right side if the printer just under the print heads. This is the area used by the printer to clean the print heads. My guess is that more of the ink used by a printer ends up here instead of of be ing used for printing. There is good information on youtube. See Link

A special service software program is needed to reset the internal counter for the ink absorber.

Hi There you can try
How To Reset Waste Ink Canon Pixma MP130
The waste ink take is actually just a felt pad that sits under the printer mechanism inside the case and absorbs the ink from your cleanings.
From what I gather, it’s both a time consuming and expensive proposition to take to Canon to fix.
And they won't tell people how to do it themselves.
Remember of course, you've got to cycle the cleaning process a huge amount of times to get this to occur.
But when it does, there is a fix-it-yourself solution that is both safe and effective for the printer, and free.
You have to be slightly mechanical to do this.
If you you've never used a screwdriver and are all thumbs, but give it a shot or give it to someone halfway coordinated to do this for you.
You may RESET the printer code first if you like or do it after you clean the pad
