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.

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.

Well… apparently I rejoiced too soon…

After the first successful attempt and the error message disappeared, it “came back” as soon as I tried to print.

I contacted tech support and the rep told me it’s either the print head and/or the main board.

If I bring it to Canon they charge $85/hr labor+ parts (about $140 if they find the parts- told me that apparently they don’t carry them anymore).

If I do it myself I’m looking at around $100 parts for both.

It’s not worth investing that kind of $ in a 6 years old printer.

Any ideas anyone?

MX892 getting error B200, any way to fix it? Based on forums this is printing head error.
