I had a stubborn B20 error on my MX922 for a while. I hadn’t used it in a couple of months, although i hadn’t planned on that and hadn’t taken the cartridges out and stored them. I put in new ones, but no joy. Research led me to suspect the print head was gummed up, so after an alcohol soak didn’t fix the Error i bought a solvent “kit” online; that didn’t resolve it either. I shopped online for another print head. The prices varied wildly. It felt like i was taking a chance when I chose a new one for $30 (not a manufacturer’s item). I installed the print head and reinstalled the new cartridges, which I’d sealed in a baggie to prevent their drying out. Next step: reset the MX922 using others’ advice to press/hold Stop for a couple of seconds, then press Start while immediately pressing Stop 5 times. The screen lit, then the printer took some time before ‘booting’, apparently deciding whether to accept the new print head and re-evaluate he B200 error. After 20 or 30 seconds the LED panel lit without a B200 Error warning. It came on line perfectly. It had worked

That is what I did.. I genuine printhead, and everything worked like new after that.

Probably.
This is what worked for me. I had a stubborn B20 error on my MX922 for a while. I hadn’t used it in a couple of months, although i hadn’t planned on that and hadn’t taken the cartridges out and stored them. I put in new ones, but no fix. (When the print head wasn’t in the position i needed from it, i just gently moved it by hand.)
More research led me to suspect the print head was gummed up, so after an alcohol soak didn’t fix the Error i bought a solvent “kit” online; that didn’t resolve it either.

Hi Everyone, I got rid of the B200 error by getting rid of the printer. If all Canon can say is take it in for service and nothing like "the print head is worn out, the part number is (xxxxxx) here is a link to get a discount" then I say that is not customer service and they don't have my business. I am done with this site.

Geez, I didn't realize I had the MX922 since 2017. Mind you, I've had some errors and issues and this one replaced another mx version. I just checked the prices to replace this unit, I have a lot of ink cartridges and don't want to dispose of them.... As I'm typing this, I'm soaking my printer head. Here's hoping it works... it's such a pain but from my research, this happens with a lot of printers.... all brands..... white paper!!!! No print!!!! Ugh!!!! I'll come back to update this after the printer head soaks......
