If you own a Canon Pixma G2010 (part of the popular MegaTank series), you’ve probably encountered the dreaded “Ink Absorber Full” or “5B00” error message. This usually appears after years of heavy use, and it stops you from printing entirely.

In this complete post, I’ll explain what this error means, why you need a resetter, where to find a safe one, and how to use it step-by-step. Your Canon G2010 has an internal sponge (the waste ink absorber) that collects ink purged during print head cleaning. The printer tracks how much ink it has dumped. Once it reaches a preset limit, the printer locks itself down to prevent overflow.

| If your printer... | Action | |-------------------|--------| | Is < 2 years old, light use | Reset only – pad is likely fine. | | Is > 2 years old, heavy use | Open printer and replace/clean absorber pads (or install an external waste ink tank). | | Leaks ink after reset | Immediately stop using, clean internal pads, or take to a repair shop. |
