Our Canon service center tells me I can throw away my printer! The 1800 series is programmed to print about 2 300 copies and when the ink absorber is full, it cannot be fixed! Can this be true?

Hi if your ink absorber is full you will probably have to take it to a canon dealer for a replacement absorber but we live in a throw away society now it would probably be cheaper to get a new printer sorry to say
Hope you find this information helpful.
The printer has a built-in ink absorber to hold the ink used during Print Head Cleaning, for example.
Eight flashes indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full.
Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue printing.
Before the ink absorber becomes completely full, contact a Canon service representative. (You will need to replace a particular part of the printer.
Canon recommends that you call for service as soon as this error occurs. Once the ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be performed until the ink absorber is replaced

Inkjet printer has waste ink absorber inside, sponge alike. The function of waste ink absorber is to localize and keep waste ink safe inside the printer and does not harm the electrical parts. Waste ink is produced from print head cleaning process and borderless printing. When capacity of the ink absorber raise to about 90% then warning message appears. You need to bring your printer to the nearest service center to get waste ink absorber replaced.
waste ink absorber error message can sometimes be solved by resetting the printer itself. i havent yet tried in ip1880 but in ip1200, th e resetting method is this: (it might also work on other models)
1. unplug the power cord and the data cable(printer to pc)
2. while press-holding the (printer) power button plug the power cable (do not release printer power button until step 3)
3. press 'resumet' ( the button below the power button of the printer) button twice...
4. release the power button
5. connect the usb cable of the printer to the pc...
- a new canon printer shall be found in the list of printers. use it as default printer
