Canon MP237 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon MP237 reports that the ink absorber is full, turning it off and on will not normally remove the lock. The printer must be prepared correctly and its counter reset.

The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon MP237 changes the counter value but does not remove ink already held in the absorber material.
