Try turning printer off, disconnect from electric. Press OK button on printer 5 times, reconnect electric, turn on printer. It worked for me. B200 error code gone. This advice came from Canon support.

Thank's for idea, did not work. This is 2nd Canon died on me. No more Canon-junk. New printing head is $90, used $50-60. I'm going to swith to cheap Epson ($60-70 on sale) and change it to new one every 2 years or so.

Best,

Tom

Here is what worked for me: 1. Turn OFF Power 2. Open the print head bay (as though you were about to change inks) 3. Turn ON power 4. Wait for print carriage to start moving to the left and let it go past half way 5. Before print carriage reaches left hand side (but after going halfway across) shut the cover. 6. Leave the Printer turned on 7. Good to go. It took 2 attempts before it worked. Some people said it took 3-4 attempts. Now, prior to this, I did clean the pads the cartridges sit on and used a qtip to wipe the encoder strip. I`m not sure if it was the combination of those things or just doing the fix.

I had this same exact message. I tried everything other people had said. Nothing worked. I then tried kdean823's response (open bay, close as print head is moving to left) . It worked and I was able to bypass the B200 error. But if I turned the printer off and then on again, I received the same B200 error. So I again tried the same procedure, immediately then using crwchf1's instructions (turn off, disconnect electricity, hit OK 5 times. I also hit the black and color buttons 5 times as well), then connect plug back in and turn on. No more error message. So far I've turned off and on several times and message is gone, so we'll see how long this lasts.

Hey, it works from first attempt.

Other method with 5 times OK does not in my case.

Thanks much.

Turn off printer

Disconnect from AC

Press OK button on printer 5 times

Reconnect AC

Turn on printer

If this does not work

Try several more times

If it still does not work

Try again but do not turn on printer until next morning

This has worked for me twice so far.

Also you might try removing the print head and rinsing under hot water until water runs clear before you start the above proceedure.

Hi,

This trick does not work for me.

Other one with lifting up ink cartridge cover did. Thank's to kdean823.

I replaced the printhead as other suggested and this solved the problem. I wonder if the printhead failure is the result of using non-Canon ink. Any others with experience or problems using non-Canon inks?

I use non canon ink all the time, its not an ink problem.Try the following:

Turn off printer

Disconnect from AC

Press OK button on printer 5 times

Reconnect AC

Turn on printer

If this does not work

Try several more times

If it still does not work

Try again but do not turn on printer until next morning

This worked for me. I cleaned the ribbon as well as taking out all the cartridges and cleaning the holder. I think the problem was a cartridge that I had refilled. I threw it away and got a factory one. Didn't want to chance it.
