Canon error 1700

The ink absorber (a sponge pad that catches waste ink from cleaning) is almost full.

How to fix it

  1. Press OK or Stop to keep printing for now.
  2. Plan for service: the absorber has to be replaced by Canon or a repair shop.
  3. Run fewer print head cleanings, since each one sends ink into the absorber.

Is it worth fixing?

You can still print for a while. When it is full the printer stops with 5B00, and on a cheap inkjet that service often costs more than a new printer.
