According to Canon, you need professional service when the waste absorber needs cleaning--but in the meantime you can press the RESUME/CANCEL button to continue printing. See http://kbsupport.cusa.canon.com/system/selfservice.controller?CONFIGURATION=1011&PARTITION_ID=1&secureFlag=false&TIMEZONE_OFFSET=&CMD=VIEW_ARTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=31235.
