I can't print --- and the following message pops up.

"The waste ink absorber is full. Contact the service center for the replacement of the waste ink absorber."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.......THANKS!

(1) Turn off the printer.

(2) Press and hold the RESUME button, then press and hold the POWER button.

(3) Release the RESUME button, Next press and release the RESUME button two(2) more times in succession. Note: you are still holding the POWER button). The printer's carriage will “reset" or move momentarily.

If the above was properly performed the printer will enter the "Service Mode".

(4) Press the RESUME button 4 times, this will select the clear waste ink counter function. The lamp will alternate (change) color with each key press. Next press the POWER button to "set" the change, and return to the top of the function selection menu. Press the POWER button again to restart the printer.

Ummm, did you actually replace teh absorber? Depending on how many pages you have put through it, you might actually WANT to replace it, before the excess ink overflows that collector and starts streaking all over your pages, and the guts of the printer.
