What are the common causes of the E05B error on a Canon G3010 printer?

The most common cause of the E05B error is the natural accumulation of waste ink, leading to the ink absorber pad becoming saturated over time with normal printer usage. Factors that can accelerate this include frequent print head cleaning cycles (often due to prolonged inactivity or poor ink quality), excessive printing with high ink coverage, or even a faulty sensor that misreports the absorber's status. It's primarily a wear-and-tear maintenance issue rather than a sudden malfunction.
