MX882 code B200 error

[Pokadotas]

Hello. I hope I'm in the right section. My Cannon MX882 suddenly stopped printing. When powered on, it shows a B200 error code and a message to turn printer off and call for support. When this first happened, I tried rebooting and left the printer unplugged for several days and gave up. Now that I need to print something again, I plugged the printer in and lo and behold, it printed the document I tried printing a few days ago.

Now the B200 error still comes up and won't clear. The printer did have 2 empty ink cartridges, so I replaced them. I've tried resetting with the instructions found online, but that isn't working. Rebooting, unplugging, removing all ink cartridges and cleaned the small ink tray area...nothing. I just bought a set of new ink, so I hope I don't have to replace this printer. 

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
