CANON printers "compute" the "fullness" of the waste-ink container, based on the number of pages printed, and the "density" of the ink on each page. So, this calculation has produced a "nearly full" prediction. Take the printer to a qualified technician.
They will empty the waste-ink container, and "reset" the electronics in the printer, back to "zero-per-cent-full".

Waste ink tank near full
Go about half way down this page and it shows you how to fix this problem.

It will require you to open up the printer to access the "waste tank" which is actually a thick felt pad.
