I am getting an error b200 on my pixma mp620 printer. What should I do to fix this?

[glwun]

Is there a fix for a canon pixma 620 that is giving me an error message 620. I reset the printer -- unplugged for 10+ minutes.  That didn't work.  Then took the print head out and cleaned and dried it.  Replaced it .....that didn't work.  Is there a home fix for this.  If not I will be in the market for a good all in one printer...scanner etc.  Any suggestions.  Thanks glwun

Canon Error B200

from jim5751.  I followed the steps listed to solve errprb200.  When I had the print head out, I noticed it had black ink on the bottom of the print head so I wiped it off with a tissue and re-installed it into the printer.  I reloaded the tanks turned off the printer etc.  when I turned it back on I now have an error message that says

" UO52 "this type of print head is incorrect.  Install the correct print head."

is it possible that that I changed the electrical ID for the print by wiping it off with a tissue.  Is there any thing I can do to reverse this problem?

I called tech support after getting the b200 error. My call was handled very well but they pretty much told the printer is dust and sent me over to the canon loyalty department for a small discount on a replacement. Not a very good outcome for a clear defect in a printer that is not very old.

Hello,

I know the last reply is a month old, but I have to say this, because this site is the first hit you find on the keywords: "Canon mp620 B200 error" and I have the solution!

My solution was VERY simple, but I don't know if it works by other printers.

Solution:

• Switch off the printer.
• Open the cover of the printer.

• Switch the printer on with the cover open.
• When your display shows: "Cover is open."  Close the cover.
• Then your display shows: "Processing... Please wait momentarily"
• Then your display shows the start menu. 

It worked for me! I don't know if it works by other printers!

Sorry for my bad English, I'am 15 and writing English is not my best point.

I hope it works for you too.

Jeimer_M - Yes your solution worked for me first time. Thanks for the tip.

Oops - no it didn't - the error came straight back next time I tried to print.

Thanks, JelmerM! Worked like magic, and your English is great 🙂

I visited Canon Solution Menu EX, found my printer driver needed an update. That solved the problem.
