    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey, this is all great!&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt; But what NONE of it does is tell me HOW this "error" came up in the first place or HOW to prevent it from happening again or WHAT the printer is doing to itself when I tell it to ignore the error.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt; Providing solutions in the form of complex keystroke/ button combinations and power-off/ power on routines is all well and good, but if it is like fixing a nuclear leak by putting duct tape over the hole, then it is doing more harm than good.&amp;nbsp; I get the impression from other web sites that this error, 5200, has to do with ink levels.&amp;nbsp; Great.&amp;nbsp; I know that Canon purports to have ink level "sensors" built into its Pixma printers, but I have also learned that all these sensors are is an algorythm that estimates the likely amount of ink based on how much use a cartridge has had, and that if you refill a cartridge with fresh ink (as I have done) the algorythm cannot take this into account and so the printer eventually tells you that there is no ink left when there is a full reservoir of it. Worse, from what I can tell, overriding an error like the 5200 error MAY even tell the printer that &lt;EM&gt;hey, so, there's no black left, probably, but go ahead and use up the COLOR ink to make up for it!&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp; So even though you may have a black ink cartridge full of black ink, the printer may start sucking out the color ink anyway because it THINKS there is no black ink left...&amp;nbsp; Until finally there is no COLOR ink left, which is much more difficult and expensive to replace/ refill.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;So what are the consequences of overriding a 5200 error??&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; We still do not know.&amp;nbsp; I know my black ink cartridge is full of fresh ink because I added the ink to the cartridge myself, but I do not know the actual status of my color ink cartridge... and I really, really don't want to just override the error and then end up with no color ink in a few days.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Bottom line: it isn't a "solution" if it just makes an error "go away."&amp;nbsp; A solution has to address the &lt;EM&gt;cause of the problem&lt;/EM&gt;, which this thread does not do.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a Canon Pixma MX340 multi-function printer. How do I clear Error 5200? The message said to turn the printer off and then on, and if that did not clear the error to consult the user's manual. On/off did not clear the error, and the online user's manual does not have Error 5200.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;How, how, how did you figure this out? It worked!!! After using my daughter's printer with a very short cord that we never use for a month, ii finally came across your post. I almost did not do it, but am so tired of moving my computer so close that it reached the printer cord I tried one more thing-yours. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
