yes this is the Business Model of maost all printer makers. I have found you tube sources though that will help replace the ink cartriges with new chips that will let them work. go to amazon and look it up
I did all this several times and yes the b200 seems to clear but I can't print anything without the error code B200 coming back. I was able to clean the head on the low cleaning cycle but not the deep and it still never worked.
Thanks for clearifying. I still can't get it to work and I really loved the printer so i am getting a new one and a 4 year warranty with it. Thanks, jakeshjo
Thanks, I did try this and it did clear the error but when I tried to do anything else it went back to error mode. I'll probably try the clean manually. I was going to try a deep cleaning but I could get that far.
