How do you resolve the B200 and U052 errors? My printer is unusable now, including scanning, fax, and copying.

I don't know how. I called Cannon. I was told I needed a knew printer, that the printer head had burned out. Read others on line how they resolve this issue with theirs. You might get luck. Good luck!

Got rid of error U163 but U041 appeared instead. Tried pressing stop again but nothing... Any other ideas? Tks!

I've had mine for several years too. But I've never had the error. Couple of thoughts. Be sure the green light on the front is lit before you start. You might try reinstalling the software from scratch. I am able to print using my netbook in my den and printing 3 rooms away with no problems. I'm on Windows 7; I know nothing about Windows 8.

Just now trying to set this up. Printer / scanner functions work fine. So does the FAX, but I can't install any Epson FAX software or drivers. Don't REALLY need that (fax works fine from the printer control panel), but its annoying.

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.

Not much help for your particular problem but seriously consider dumping the printer. I had one and found endless problems with it. It is undoubtedly the worst printer I have ever purchased. Eventually I replaced it. Sorry about your problem but I can only advise based on my experience.

I've only printed a few pages, and am getting this same message. If you go to the Solution Center software/app you can bypass the error message. Will not order these again.

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.

Pat, I always assume the basics first and not knowing your expertise, just make sure you pulled the seal tape, have the right cartridge, reboot the printer, etc. Then I'd look at the printer's web interface, and the Windows troubleshooter before giving up and returning. If it's something you're doing, a new printer won't be any help.

I have the j4680 printer & fax , I can not install any of the ink cartriges , I tried to replace the color cartrage an would not go in so I removed the black to see if I was doing anything wrong . Now I can not get any one of them in , could the carrage be broken?

You don't . This printer is notorious for NOT working when printing black. I was sent new printing heads& new cartridges, neither of which solved the problem

I mainly used the link by Lee E Palmer. "http://www.scribd.com/doc/62071141/Brother-CDW-Print-Unable-32". Worked like explained and now I have my copier/printer/fax machine back in action.

Try the old toner and drum. Do they work? Make sure you have pulled the strip that released the toner into the unit, some do not have that requirement. If none of that helped, maybe the laser failed or other electronics. Could even be a software or driver issue, can you print a test page?

I have been unable to print using this printer for some time now. Make of that what you will.

I had the same problem for months until on last week until I traced the cause to Hewlett Packard's printer driver included in a bundle of programs that came with the printer. I downloaded a specific driver for the printer, deleted all the other rubbish.HP customer service treats people like idiots.I bought another printer.
