Waste ink pad absorber is like a waste tank made of absorbent pads, in here the waste ink is absorbed. In time this waste ink pad will be saturated or full. When it happens the printer will suddenly stop working. The printer needs to be reset to function again and the waste ink pad replaced to prevent flooding of waste ink inside the printer. The waste ink pad is replaced by disassembling the printer.

You don't have to change the waste ink absorber. There are two in the MP150 and they cost about $15 each. I have found though that you can just reset the counter and let the printer run without any problems. I have done this with three now with no problems. Reset procedure is:

1. Start Printer
2. Press button MENU, then SCAN, COPY and again SCAN – the printer will go into the service menu.
3. select NVRAM ACCESS and further BY OK.
4. select SET Abs- m level and reduce to zero.
5. select SET Abs- r level (if there is) and reduce to zero.
6. Turn off printer by button POWER.

Epson Artisan 835 waste pad cleaning or replacement, how?
The Epson Artisan 835 waste pad is located in the printer's waste ink compartment and is designed to absorb any excess ink that is generated during the printing process. Over time, the waste pad can become saturated with ink, which can cause issues with the printer's performance.
To clean or replace the waste pad on an Epson Artisan 835 printer, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Open the printer's cover and locate the waste ink compartment.
  3. Carefully remove the waste pad from the compartment.
  4. Clean the waste pad with a damp cloth, or replace it with a new one if it is heavily saturated with ink.
  5. Reinstall the waste pad into the waste ink compartment.
  6. Close the printer cover and plug the printer back in.
It's important to note that this process can be messy and you should use gloves and old clothes to avoid getting ink on your hands or clothes. Also, some printer models may have a different process to access the waste pad, you might need to consult the printer's manual or Epson website to know more about your specific model.

Why was ink obserber near full
Ink Absorber is a big reservoir which fills over time every time your printer does a Printhead clean. This is a built in system of Obsolescence with Printers. However people like to keep printers long after they are considered out of date. Depending on what model of printer you have you can reset the Wast Ink Absorber counter however you do this at your own risk as eventually if the waste ink absorber is not emptied when the reset is done it will overflow and cause damage to the printer, the furnishings near where you keep the printer etc.

How to reset epson stylus d120 waste ink counter? where to download software for resetting? thanks
You don't want to reset the waste ink counter unless you have removed all of the waste ink. Unless you feel like totally dismantling your printer and hand washing the felt pads that are currently soaked in ink you'll probably want to have it serviced professionally or just replace it. Most times replacement is less expensive. Resetting the waste ink counter without cleaning out the waste ink can, and likely will, result in waste ink eventually overflowing out of the the bottom of your machine. Be cautious.

WASTE INK ABSORBA FULL
Inkjet printers have a fibrous pad inside them that collects the waste ink from cleaning the print head. Over time, this pad fills up with ink and can no longer hold any more. When this occurs, the printer indicates a "waste ink tank full" error.

Replacing the waste ink absorption pads is something an authorized canon service facility can take care of for you. Once they are replaced, it'll be functional again.
