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.

Hello,
B200 was my problem as wel on Pixma Pro 10 S.
I tried all the mentioned solutions (pulling out power etc .....).
no results ...
Then I performed a deep cleaning ( getting it out of the printer and bathing in a solution of demineralized water and ethanol) .
After a few hours cleanded and dryed the printhead carefully, replaced it and waited for one more day. Then while the power was unplugged pushed the power button constantly during 30 seconds, pushed the powercable in and held the power button one more 30 seconds. Released the power button. Power was of. The again pushed the power button and the printer started again. After a while of 'printeractivity' I printed a test page and everything was OK ........fot the time being .... if, again I have the same problem I come back to this forum ..... succes!!!!

My Pixma ix6820 threw this code a few hours ago. First thing I did was clean the heads. Fortunately, it is a snap removing the head tray from this printer. I had watched a bunch of YouTube videos on how to clean the heads on Canons, so I kinda knew what to expect. At any rate, I feel confident that I cleaned the heads properly. I might should have waited a little longer than I did before reinstalling them, but I made sure at least that the head tray's exterior was completely dry. Anyway, reinstalled it, and I'm still looking at the blinking lights -- 10x blinks means B200. So, I pull the head tray again to make sure there wasn't a misalignment or anything. Really, installation is dead simple and I don't see how anybody could get it wrong. So I reinstalled the head tray the only way it looks like it will fit. Again, the 10x blinks.  Sigh.  

So I'm gonna tray haxita786's advice -- well, not in the exact order, but when it comes to letting the printer rest for a while unplugged, this I haven't done yet. So it is now unplugged. Keeping my fingers crossed, and knocking on wood. I'll check back in if it works.

A quick follow-up to my above post. I waited over a day before I reinstalled the heads and inks. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the 10x blinking lights.

So I have a question -- has anyone tried just replacing the heads to see if this will take care of the problem? I've noticed there are a number of sellers of the print head(s) for my machine on eBay and the prices aren't too outlandish. Sure beats heck out of the price of a replacement printer. True, the B200 code sez the printer's print head(s) have stopped working, but I'm wondering if the fault lies in the easily removable head section, or might it lie somewhere down deeper in the printer?
