The replacement of the waste tank requires the disassembly of the printer and the replacement of the tank with a replacement kit. Typically the kit will cost around $25 and the labor at a service dealer about $75. Get a couple of quotes before taking the printer in. Your other option is to go to a newer printer since you can find one for about the same price as repairing your current one.

I have a canon multipass F80 and an error code that says "waste ink near full". What do I do?

This works on the F30, F60, and F80.
Resetting the Waste Ink Volume Counter
1) Enter SERVICE MODE.---
By pressing Menu-Copy-#
2) Select TEST MODE.
3) Select [8] PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE.
4) Select 3. [EEPROM CLEAR].
5) Select 0. [INK COUNT].
6) Press the [OK] key.
7) Press the [Stop/Reset] key (returning to the state of 3)), and then press the [ON/OFF] key.

Skip step (6) since there is no [OK] key on F30 printers.

My 9 year old Canon Multipass F80. is giving me an alarm "waste ink near full". How do I empty that? I have no clue please help. I lost the manual two moves back.

1) Enter SERVICE MODE.---
By pressing Menu-Copy-#
2) Select TEST MODE.
3) Select [8] PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE.
4) Select 3. [EEPROM CLEAR].
5) Select 0. [INK COUNT].
6) Press the [OK] key.
7) Press the [Stop/Reset] key (returning to the state of 3)), and then press the [ON/OFF] key.

the waste ink tank is the spongy surface under the nozzles when the printer is in the online waiting state, remove this pad and clean it once you have reset the counter or you will soon find leaks of ink!

Canon Multipass F80 printer. "Check printer press resume key"

On the f80 you need a shop to go to service mode and get the error code and tell you what the problem is. Could be purge assembly, waste ink full, feeder error, printhead error, any number of possible problems.

My F80 will not print black. The black tank is nearly full and I've cleaned and whatever several times to no avail. It is the same when I try to copy something in b&W.

You need a new printhead, QY6-0041-000 around $40.00

Stopped printing after 'waste ink full message' how to I fix it.

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 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.
