CANON 2YRS OLD PRINTING PROBLEM B - 200
314052
Fortunately, I have not seen these issues. I own both a now quite ancient MP600 and the later MG5220. We do not have a serious printing volume going through either one of these devices, nor have we used a lot of non-Cannon after market ink cartridges. Both of these factors mitigate against having issues which prompt the MG5220 to go berserk and start flagging an error which may be caused by wear and tear. I have noticed that the display screen for the older MP600 seems to have frayed the wires that connect it through the swivel mount to power and as a consequence, the entire display which shows printer status goes dark on occasion and can be revived by moving the door to the control panel on the top of the unit back and forth until it lights up again. I have spent more on ink cartridges for these Cannon printers than I paid for the devices by a large margin, and would recommend to anyone who has a significant printing volume requirement to look at something else, but I have found that their proprietary ink and cartridge system does a pretty good job of not "drying out" or "dropping out" as do so many other less pricey printer cartridge systems which depend more on at least the occasional or "one page a day or more" printing to stay fresh. We often print on two or three days a month and can go for months without printing and yet, when we do print, the page comes out clear and complete, a situation not so likely on some other brands of printer.

The dreaded B200 error message. Sorry to disappoint you, but your 5220 is dead now. Search "MG5220 B200 error" on google and among the rants you will find some advice for re-seating print heads, cleaning electrical contacts, etc, but none of the suggestions worked for me or many other people. Canon customer service will be happy to offer you a loyalty discount to replace your old 5220 for a newer model for a discounted price HIGHER than what you can buy the newer model for on Amazon already.

All I received with my camera was a CD. I would contact Canon and see if they have it online that you could print out.

Call Technical support. They have been absolutely wonderful with me on every occasion! and, the only other thing I would suggest is with the new cartridge of black in place, disconnect your printer from the electrical outlet and shut down your computer. Then, restart your computer and restart your printer to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, call KM. They are wonderful! And, these printers are wonderful although a bit "sensitive."

Hi, I've had this canon for 2,5 years and took thousands of pictures and all the functions work.When did you buy it- do you have the option to return it?

You can try reset your printer by restarting your computer and your printer. You may also need to reinstall the drivers or install a new updated driver

There is no way to fix it. I had to call Kodak and they went through the normal troubleshooting list. They said that it is a hardware issue and because my printer is out of warranty, they offered me a deal on two other Kodak printers: ESP 2170 for $79.99 or the ESP 2150 for $69.99 plus shipping and handling (which I didn't ask the cost of). I liked the inexpensive ink of my Kodak but am currently looking at Canon MAXIFY MB2020 and MAXIFY MB2320 printers with similarly low priced ink.

Plug the old one back in and see if everything works like it's supposed to. That will tell you if it's a problem with the cartridge. Next step would be to try the other, new cartridge you got and see if it causes the paper jam alert. The other resource to utilize is the printer manufacturer. Ask a tech rep.

Owner's manual doesn't address these issues. Suggest you go to the Canon website.

Check the expiration date to be sure it is okay. I have gotten some that were old. Mostly it is probably your print head. I have found that many times they cannot be fixed by realigning or cleaning but have to be replaced. Sorry but it is usually cheaper to get a new printer.

Took me a few hours to figure out a solution based on a number of sources on the interwebs. I have an MX712. Problem is probably a clogged print head. I had been putting off replacing the ink cartridges which apparently is a mortal sin in Canon's eyes. 1. Open printer. 2. Remove old ink cartridges. 3. Remove the print head but lifting up on the spring loaded gray thing. Don't worry, it won't break. 4. Print head pulls out. 5. Clean the print head wells. I used witch hazel and Q tips but I think isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) would do the trick too. Clean and dry, clean and dry until most of the wells look free of ink. No need to soak or wait overnight. Get them relatively clean. 6. Put printer head back in and put in fresh ink cartridges. 7. Turn off printer (make sure it's plugged in). 8. Open printer and force the ink carriage by hand all the way to the left. 9. Push the on button 5 times rapidly. 10. Close printer. 11. The startup menu should come up on the printer. 12. Go to menu options and do a deep clean. 13. Printer should be back to normal.

Had this B200 error code for almost a year now, just set it aside and used my 10 year old printer (still running strong btw). Well recently I had the need to start scanning again. Pulled this broken printer out and after fiddling with it for a bit I found that removing all ink and the "printer head" ( the black plastic on which the cartridges sit on) allowed me to bypass the B200 code and allowed me to scan. If you get any other error codes you might be able to bypass if you hold "OK" or "Stop" buttons for about 10 seconds or more. Hope this info helps some of you out there seeing as how this is a very common problem for all canon printers.

Well, I downloaded a new driver, and that solved the 6c10 error message -- for a week or so. And now it's back again. And now my older Canon pixma 3000 has a similar error message. So I have two Canon printers taking up space. Does anyone make a decent, reliable printer? Canon has been absolutely of no help.

Hi Jeannette,I had to contact Canon. They sent a replacement Pixma and asked me to ship back the first one in same box, at no charge to me. I have not had any problems with this second printer. Karen

Sounds like a bad printhead. You can try replacing it for about $40, or check to see if it's still under warranty. You may need receipts, warranty cards, UPC symbols and a notarized affidavit from your priest to get them to honor their warranty. I personally solved the same problem by smashing my ESP 2170 with a large sledgehammer and vowing never to buy another Kodak product.

Sorry, Gus but I no longer have that printer. Have you tried the Canon website?
