Is it possible to replace the ink absorber pads on a Canon G2000 printer at home, and what tools might be needed?

Yes, it is possible to replace the ink absorber pads on a Canon G2000 printer at home, though it requires some technical dexterity. You'll typically need a set of small screwdrivers (Phillips head), possibly a spudger or plastic pry tool to open the casing without damage, and replacement ink pads (or materials to clean the existing ones). The process involves disassembling parts of the printer's outer casing to access the waste ink compartment. After replacement, the 5b00 error counter *must* still be reset using the service tool.
