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

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

no one should buy a canon until they solve the problem unless it built into the machine so that yo0u hyave to purchase a new one. I called canon tech support and they could only try to sell me another printer for a 10% discount. The tech said he never heard of erro B200?

I will probably go back to HP printers.

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 procedure.

Does not work on my machine.

When you have the power off you can't see any of the buttons light up. Ok button only lights up when power is on. I tried this and it didn't work.

Worked for me on first try. Will post again if any further problems.
