canon ip3000 waste ink absorber replacement

This policy is basically outrageous and I really cannot envisage EVER buying another Canon product. As far as I can see it's like buying a new car and then when the spark plugs or the tires need replacement, you are told to buy a new car and scrap the old one! I want to know how Canon have the nerve to sell a product that effectively has a finite life without telling the customer. What are the costs to the environment of this policy? In this day and age to use built-in obsolescence as a means of increasing your income stream is really not acceptable.

Test and welcome back to the world of the living, printer. The manual doesn't even say how to get around the 85% issue. (Hoping that you have not forgotten any parts) then clear the waste ink tank counter (If this is a feature on your printer) using the reset codes found on sites like this one. When this occurs, the manual I have simply says to contact the service center, not 'Your printer is scrap'. Looking at this forum (and elsewhere on line) it is clear that this is a recurring issue on almost all Canon printers. If the waste ink amount is 7 or more, also replace the bottom case unit (QM2-1205) or the ink absorbers (QC1-4222 / 4223 / 4224 / 4263 / 4264 / 4864 / 4221 / 4257) when replacing the logic board assy. However, they were quite clear that one day soon it will reach 100% at which stage my printer has to be returned to Canon at great expense to fix this, and that I might as well buy a new one as it would be cheaper. 1: Before replacement of the logic board assy, check the waste ink amount (by service test print or EEPROM information print). I spoke to Canon Support who told me that the first time you get this it means it is 85% full, and told me how to overcome this. The ink absorber on my Canon MG2950 is, it says, almost full.
