it worked. just the top cover not top and bottom cover to the printer cartridges. thanks.
B200 message.
Turn printer off
open scanner lid
open top lid only (not bottom lid) to printer cartridges
Turn printer on
The cartridge carriage will move to the left
Shut the cover after it goes past the ½ way point
Let it settle, then shut it off.

Greetings,
This error while sometimes (temporarily) recoverable often returns, Its usually related to the printhead and replacement often exceeds the cost of a new printer.
If you want to try...
Turn the printer off
open the lid
Turn it back on and wait for the ink carrier to start moving to the left
after it travels beyond the 50% point, but before it travels all the way to the end of the carriage, shut the cover.
It may work, but the error will likely return at some point. My suggestion would be to replace it.

it lasted five seconds. i will try to replace on of the expected faulty ink cartridges and see if it lasts.
one question: can i disable the print function and just use the scanner.

Greetings,
This is a multifunction device. You cannot shut off one of the functions (printing or scanning). If the scanner were broken, you might be able to print if you never tried to scan, but the printer is the devices core function. If either device is non-operational or in an error condition, the other probably won't work.
What many people don't do is place value on their time. Please take this into consideration before you spend any money or spend alot of time try to fix the device. In the long run replacement might be the most cost effective solution.
Good Luck.

Hello Patrick or whom it may concern, if you're the Canon expert or work for Canon, why can't you just tell people why exactly the B200 error is caused. Most of these printers are years old and out of date. It would make sense to just give the exact problem that causes this and the 1403 error. It is written in the programming of the chip in the printer what caused this error, so it would be appropriate to just provide us with the exact answer for the error. I had the 1403 error and found the head had a burnt trace on the head flex cable/circuit board, so I replaced the head with a new one and now I have a B200 error. I spent the money and now I'm not happy. Is this just a runaround fix or is the print just trash now. I have an electronics background so I will understand the technical answers you provide.
Thanks
Dale
