First off to do it will take you about an hour, cost you between 10 to 30 dollars. The best alternative is either take it to a Canon Dealer and pay 40.00 and don't worry if you break the seal, or I will tell you how to reset it so that it thinks it has no ink. DO NOT PLAY WITH THE OTHER SETTINGS OR YOUR PRINTER MAY NOT WORK AFTERWARDS.
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.

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.

SOURCE: canon i900d wast ink tank - how to reset it ?
The following procedure is from the Canon i900D Maintenance Manual:
1. With the printer power turned off, while pressing the Resume button, press and hold the Power button. (Do not release the buttons. Wait for the LED to light green, which means you can select a function.)
2. While holding the Power button, release the Resume button. (Do not release the Power button.)
3. While holding the Power button, press the Resume 2 times. On the first press, the LED lights orange; on the second press, it turns green. Release the Power and Resume buttons.
4. The LED light should be green. Press the Resume button four times. Each time you press the Resume button, the LED lights first orange and then green.
5. The LED light should be green and the printer should now reset the waste ink counter. When the operation completes, the printer returns to the menu selection mode automatically.
