How to Disable the Low Ink Warning on Canon Printers
The last thing you want to see when you are trying to print a document in a hurry is a low-ink warning. These messages can be annoying, and in most Cannon printers, they start popping up when only 70 percent of the ink has been used. Although the notifications can be closed after each occurrence, if you want to get rid of them completely, you'll need to perform an ink cartridge reset.

Doesn't work on PIXMA 210. When ink is low, the printer will not print at all. And if you try to use the reset sequence (holding reset and power etc.), printer locks in maintenance mode and won't even scan documents... FOREVER! -
