Error B200: Has anyone had the B200 error pop up?

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.

I did not have that error. I asked the internet and came up with several answers. Try this link http://www.shopyourway.com/questions/1018474

I get the same message too. That Epson's way of getting us to buy their brand. Just bypass the error message.

I returned mine because it was getting errors, and have another on order. I would check the Blipcare website.

Yes, it happend to me a couple weeks after I bought it. Also, I could not down load new updates.

I had same error message and yes this part solved my issue. Not too difficult to install yourself either. Hope this helps.

I agree with Donna. The ONLY way I could make this error go away was with the 1.5 patch. Just look for it in Google, download, and you'll be fine

I can't really remember if I got an error message at all. I think my computer would just not turn on. Or it would but wouldn't last long. My IT friend figured it out right away and installed. Haven't had any problems since!

I'm having the same problem and haven't found a resolution. Were you able to resolve yours?

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.

Good luck! I had the same problem. Here's what happened: I bought two of these, neither of which worked, neither of which the company will stand behind. It is a huge rip-off. Tech support denied me a replacement or upgrade because I hadn't logged in to the program even though my previous calls to tech support were to ask for help in getting the product to work. Catch-22: Product defective --> Can't use or login --> Can't get replacement because not logging in. Go figure.

My error message states ' your system has not been modified'. I've also attempted to load in safe mode and not successful.

I too have been having this problem and I don't know what is causing it. I think BFM should get involved with a fix.

Mine does not have a "B" designation either. Checked around and could not find anything about it. Sorry.
