Hello,
I have an MP560 and it has sat unused for about 2.5 years and the last 6 months or so before it sat, I was only down to the black ink so the colors have sat for about 3 years. Is my printer dead? I bought some ink, not Canon and now I am getting the B200 error code. I didn't want to buy $100 overpriced ink for a dead printer and now I can't get the error code off. I have cleaned the print heads a number of times, listened to how people said to clean them online and followed all the instructions and nothing has helped. Do I need to just go ahead and buy another printer?
Also, I really love my printer but I don't want to be forced to buy overpriced ink for $100 ever few months. Are there any really good, photo quality inkjet printers out there where I can use good quality but MUCH less expensive ink and I won't receive and error message? I do freelance graphic design and would like to print out things at home to see what they look like before sending them off to print. I'm not opposed to buying a laser but it just seems like they both have their areas of expertise so I still feel like I need an ink jet. What do y'all think? Thanks in advance.
