CANON MP730 ERROR MESSAGE 343 WASTE INK FULL

Hi, I had the message waste ink near full for a while and I could get it to print but now the whole thing is jammed up. As far as I'm aware the error message 343 means waste ink tank is full!! I understand there is a routine to reset this issue and the ink pads may not be full. I don't mind if a bit of ink spills over, I would just like to get a bit more life out of the machine. I've seen some routines for other canon printers but not for the MP730. And Canon won't tell on their support line!! Any ideas

    I too, have been useing this machine as a 2nd printer and tonight in the middle of a RUSH order for a client I get this message WASTE INK NEAR FULL I've tried everything and searched everywhere ... it just quit printing in the middle of the job and I've spent the last 5 hours mucking around trying to fix this or at least find out what it is. There is definately nothing on CANON's help menu that even mentions it.

I get a message saying waste ink near full
It means you need to replace the waste ink absorbers, they are pads under the print engine, around $10.00 but best done in a shop where they have access to the diagnostic mode to reset the waste ink counter.

Where is a waste ink i have error message says WASTE INK NEAR FULL help me on that, thanks
I have had this problem. There is a counter in your printer that must be reset to move on. The ink tank may not be full, but the counter estimates it is full (and maybe it is an instruction to you to buy a new Canon printer), and to actually empty the ink tank would be an uneconomical task. How do you do it, there are a number of helpers here so Google: MP730 waste ink near full.
