Title
Canon ip4600 printer - Ink Absorber
Introduction
There are 2 small pads under the rest position of the cartridges - these can easily be removed and washed out in warm water.
BUT this is only a small part of the story!
If you remove the case ends, then the top, about 6 screws release the bottom of the case - then you find a whole heap of ink absorber pads - these may well be laden with ink. They can be washed out and dried (in the sun). Then you have really sorted things out.
(A guide to dismantling can be found online by searching for the service manual, but it gives no information about cleaning things)
There are various things about resetting the counters online, but the reliable method is to download the service engineer's software from:
