Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue printing. Before the waste ink tank becomes completely full, contact a Canon service representative.

I wouldn't override that error message. Best bet is to open up the printer and give it a good cleaning. If you're unfamiliar or not comfortable with the procedure, take it to your closest computer repair store to have it serviced.
