I have a problem with my Canon Pixma 5350 printer and scanner (All in One). The inner lid was opened to change the cartridge while the machine had no power. This meant that the lever supporting the lid while open was then stuck. I have pushed the lever down to its housing but it will not allow the lid to shut fully. It can be a simple mechanical problem caused by me.

Hello grampatex.

Please try the following to see if we can resolve your issue:

1.  Open the cover of the printer.

2.  Remove all ink tanks from the printer.

3.  Lift up the gray locking lever on the side of the ink tank holder.

4.  Gently remove the print head from the carriage unit.

5.  Place the print head back in and lock the lever down.

6.  Place all of the ink tanks back in the printer.

7.  Close the cover and turn the printer off.

8.  Unplug the power from the printer.  Leave the power unplugged for about 5-10 minutes.

The message to repair my MX850 with a B200 error code was to first remove and replace the ink tanks.  When I open the top the module that holds the ink tanks remains on the far right of its track where the tanks cannot be accessed.  Normally when I lift the lid to replace a tank, this module moves to the center where it can be accessed, but it is not doing this.  Suggestions?

None of this has worked for any of us. I am frustrated and at the end of my rope with this. Can you please update with a better answer?!

I am having exactly the same problem as Rick. Tried turning the printer off and unplugging for ten minutes. When I plugged it back in and turned it back on, the error code immediately returned. Now What?

dont know how i figured it out, but I did...

start with the printer off

similtanously pressed the ON button and the Home button...several times...I did it like 10 times...the printer starts to go a little haywire but then comes back to life!!!! Yeah!!!!!!
