Error B200 Has anyone had the B200 error pop up?

I bought mine in December 2009 and have just now received this error. I did recently have the ink run low (it wasn't saying it was completely out) and was printing with it just fine with it on low ink. The B200 error showed up a couple of days after my last print job when I went to scan something. I've tried cleaning it all out and put in the new ink, it's not working. So, the moral of the story is (I guess), if your printer says it's low on ink replace it and don't wait for it to be completely out. This honestly doesn't make sense to me and I'm quite disappointed in Canon (I've been a Canon person for years!). I bought mine in December 2009 and have just now received this error.

I recently got the B200 error on my MX860. My printer is about three years old and worry free until the infamous B200! Based on other posting on the web I guessed that I had fired the print head. One of the ink cartridges was dry and a sheet of paper was jammed in the printer right before the error. I took a chance and ordered a new print head off eBay for about $56 and sure enough this fixed my problem. The print head will go bad over time and you will speed up its dismise if you continue printing until the ink completely runs out. This can burn out the print head nozzel and cause a B200. Good luck.

I just had this happen to me. I called Canon technical service. They talked me through removing ink cartridges, print head, waiting, then trying it again. )Don't do that on your own, there were several warnings along the way about what not to do.) Unfortunately, after I did that, I got the same error message. I was told I have to take it in to a service center. Ugh. Or, there is a "customer loyalty program" they offer with a discount and free shipping on a new printer. Canon number is: 800-652-2666. Customer loyalty program number: 866-443-8002. Good luck

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.

Mom I haven't got this error message until now. Is it about a Lenovo application? Or is it a third-party app? I'm gonna check BTW in the notifications window

I kept having an error and nothing fixed it so I had to buy a new one. You can try resetting it to see if that will help.

can someone test with latest firmware? it may be under "premium" - the latest firmware for bp540 has it, wonder if it would work

I had the same problems. Very infuriating. Finally found that if I ran the "bottom plate cleaning" maintenance (push "menu" and then select "maintenance" options; scroll down to botttom plate cleaning, last on list.) 5-6 times in succession it would clear up the problem.

Here is some info on the E18 problem and how to fix it. http://www.e18error.com/. I was getting ready to buy a sx10is but now I think I will wait until I find out more information on how wide spread this problem is.

Just run a search using Error U043. There are lots of answers using Bing. I have not had any problems.

I got this same message upon setup. Never got to download anything. Sent it back. If it had these issues right out of the box it was faulty and not worth my time. Sorry.

B004I05SLYS, should be B004I05LYS ( I think). I'm not familiar with the other ASIN. Could that number be incorrect as well?

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 don't know the answer because I'm not familiar with the error message, however I did have a problem with the unit and wrote a negative review. The manufacturer was very concerned about the negative review and responded immediately satisfying my concerns to my satisfaction. BJ
