How to open Canon iP3000 and remove absorber pads? Printer Canon iP3000 displayed the message: Error 1700, waste ink absorber almost full. I've  re-set it  but can not find practical instruction how to open the printer, remove the contaminated ink absorber pads in order to flush them. Could anyone tell me how to open Canon iP3000 properly and remove the ink absorber pads, please? Or may be there is some website/forum where  such instructions can be found? Thanks in advance!

How to take apart Cannon PIXMA iP3000 to clean the waste absorber

You need to replace the ink absorber kit and to completely disassemble the printer to replace the absorber. Attempting to clean the ink absorber is not recommended. Self servicing the absorber can be a very messy operation. I would check with a Canon repair center to see what the cost to have the servicing done by a trained technician. In some cases, it is cheaper to replace the printer.
