You would need to download and install a service program ( search google or similar for "MP190 reset"), then disassemble the machine to get to the waste ink pads in the base of the machine. Remove wash and dry the pads and re-install. Re-assemble the machine and then run the service program to reset the waste ink counter. It is a lot of work for a relatively old machine.

Clean or replace the absorber and reset the printer counter to clear the message.

how can i get my ink absorber to be unful and work agian so i can print again WANALI
SOURCE: printer says ''waste Ink absorber is full'' see service center
This is what the manual says: Ink used for cleaning is absorbed in a waste ink absorber placed in the machine.
Press [OK] to cancel the error so that you can continue printing. Once the waste ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be done until the waste ink absorber is replaced.
Canon recommends to contact a Canon service representative as soon as possible.

SOURCE: The waste ink absorber is full
To reset your Canon IP1000 just simply pull out power cord then press-hold power button, while holding power button insert back power cord. You will notice that the power button indicator lights up upon inserting power cord. then you may release power button and start printer. That will solve your "The waste ink absorber is full" message.
Downside is: you may have to do this frequently if your printer looses power. You will understand what i mean.
