I just acquired a PIXMA PRO-1 from a friend who bought the printer in 2013 and found out he had to buy calibration tools (ColorMunki) and use ICC profiles. That was all too much for him. I think he did not print more than 100 8x10" pictures. My problem is that the printer is reporting a full ink absorber, 8 blinks, error code 1701. I understand how to reset the counter, but I may need to replace the ink absorber container but if I need to go there, I would like to install a 'potty'. I have the service manual but I would like some suggestion how to install the ink 'potty'. In Utah the air is very dry, RH 22% average in my house, so I assume that the absorbers are dry and no ink is in the maintenance tray. I have the printer on a 55 hr 'purge' print schedule with QImage. Who can advise me how to install the ink 'potty'?
