🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 man lol I’ve been stressed out for three weeks… never imagined a grainy, shaky video would have the solution. Lol I don’t even care! U and that other guy are the men!!! Thanks so so much!!!

THANK YOU, GOD BLESS MY PRINTER IS WORKING!

Fixed! I can't believe it! I bought three printers because of this error. The print head replacements or repair were about the same cost. I was determined not to buy a fourth. And now I am going to have three working printers! Thank you and God bless you too!

Thanks. My printer is aging but I love it and would rather not have to replace it if I can help it. Your video helped me.

Thanks.. Not closing the lid before the initial cycle ended was my problem. So this video helped to solve my problem.

Worked on Canon Ip7250. Thanks!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks! This worked for me on a canon mx882. Cleaned the print head, still got B200 error. Tried this trick of starting it while opened up, and closing it while it was booting and moving around. Worked!

Thank you so much! Grateful for you posting this video! It worked for me!

OMG IT WORKED. Cleaned print heads first. Thank you soooo much.

Well THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I viewed numerous other videos about clearing/fixing this B200 error. Only one other was really helpful in that it showed all the steps on exactly how to get the print head out, etc. But once I had seen how to get the print head out and all the other steps (including buying and installing brand new ink cartridges although the old ones still seemed fine), I was still getting the error. The 'fix' was the trick that you showed as far as powering up the printer with the various parts still open, then quickly closing them during the power-up-and it worked! My next step was to buy a new print head (which I don't really want to do) because I need a printer like the Pixma 922 to print on CDs and DVDs (a feature you just don't find anymore, sadly in printers). THANK YOU AGAIN! -Gary

This doesn't work for me as it asks me straight off that my covers are open and I need to close them before it'd run.

I didnt even need to clean i just closed it from the middle position and it worked !! Thank you

Thank you. This was very helpful.

Not all heroes wear capes. This is the video that EVERYONE needs to fix this problem. however, it could be a lot shorter. 3:30 to see the part that no other video shows

You are INCREDIBLY thoughtful❣️ Thank you!!!

Has this been answered? I’m too tired after days and days of print head flushing & RU-vid searching to read all the comments 😮‍💨 😅 Anyway, it sounds like a software memory issue to me. In other words, the error **message** is loaded into memory. So after cleaning the print heads, & fixing the actual problem, rebooting the printer in its discombobulated state clears the message from memory and you’re back in business. I haven’t put my cartridges back in yet but my theory is holding because this trick seems to have worked. I’ll update later when the cartridges are back in. (Canon Pixma MG 7120.)

Thank you for the tip in your video! I had problems with the printhead on my MG7120 a few years ago, cleaned it, and got it working again. When an error came up last week saying I had the wrong printhead, I skipped the cleaning and ordered a third-party printhead off Amazon. Once I swapped out the old one with the new, I was surprised to get the B200 error because I knew the new one was clean. Lucky for me, I found your video, followed the tip at the end, and it worked!

It worked! Thank you! And that other guy. We'll see if it keeps on going.

No hack is needed. There is a maintenance routine built int the printer for changing the heads. It will reset the B200 code. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CEHi23yRq2s.html

Alla fine pulendo le testine con alcol si risolve il problema meglio comprare una nuova stampante?

It did remove the error message but the second you send it a print job the B200 error returns.

Thank you soooooooo much! I have been messing with this thing for two weeks, trying everything to no avail. Stumbled across your video because of your title (after cleaning the printhead). I'll be darn, it works! Thanks again, Red!

Than you so much this method work for my printer because this is a very good printer when it operations.

I know this video is from 4 years ago but man did it just save my butt! I wish technology companies would just come out and help fix it like you did instead of letting us all struggle! SO THANK YOU!

It worked for me after I tried his method 3 times! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you! This did the trick!

thank you....was getting b200 error after many times cleaning the head unit....worked like a charm

WORKED! Thank you very much!🤗

Thank you, I've watched dozens of videos on the B200 error that popped up on my MX922 yesterday, tried soaking the print head on iso alcohol and cleaning it, etc. This worked! Thanks again!

thank you b200 followed what u said it worked

Thanks very much. Followed this method. Powered up when the carriage was in the parked position but with all covers open. As soon as the carriage moved I shut everything and the printer reset correctly. Thanks again.

Also a B200 error on my MG7150... cleaned the head several times and followed your instructions and it works for a moment. Followed by cleaning or deep cleaning and when I tried to print the nozzle patern the printer jumpes directly to the B200 error. Also unpowered for a night and started over again accoring to your instructions and same cleaning and printing the nozzle. Again B200... Bougth later on a used MG7150 whith origininal cartridges and seller told me he always used original cartridges. Cartridges were almost empty and replaced them with my cheaper cartridges (which worked for years without problems). A week later on this "new"MG7150 a B200 error. Again same procedure and it worked till the first print, again a B200. Tried your procedure several times and still B200 comming up at the first print. And now desperate... and bought a new Epson Expression Photo XP-970 after 25 years of Canon-printers, sometimes with problems but most of the time working perfect. I think Canon has updated the printer software and therfore it's cousing a B200 error when using cheap cartridges.

This worked thank you!

There are several RU-vid sites on how to fix the Canon dreaded "B200" error code. You add them up, and there are OVER 600,000 people who have looked for an answer to this problem. OVER 600,000!!!! What kind of p.o.s. is Canon selling to everyone. Shame on Canon!

Thank you !!! Thank You !!! THANK YOU.

FYI my error didn't fix after the shallow water soaking and drying. BUT then it worked a 2 weeks later when I tried it in the printer one last time! So be patient and know you may need to leave it dry for a week or 2. Yep yep

Holy crap this worked!!!!!!! Wow!!! Thanks! You’re a life saver!

This worked for my MX892. Thank you!!

this actually worked after doing everything else i saw on youtube! thanks!!

Can’t believe that actually worked lmao me struggling for months

Holy cow! This works like a charm! Thanks for so thoroughly explaining this!

Many thanks! This fixed the error after all the other tries including 2 rounds of cleaning the print head and other attempts! Again - many thanks for the simple method, which fixed it and for posting the video!!

Well you helped me I almost threw out the printer your trick worked like a charm thanks for taking the time to make the video. You saved me $300.00 maybe more Thanks Ron R

Darn it… it did remove the error. But I tried to print and it still wasn’t happy. Maybe I need to clean it again.

Thanks! this solution worked for me too. Its all about fooling Canon's software. I too hate to pay for the crazy cost of original print ink. Very happy with EZink products. I have a 30 year old HP color Plotter and have issues keeping it going including having to use an old Dell Windows XP computer to drive it! But the plotter works fine.

I am SO greatful!

Oh my gosh! It totally worked! Thank you SO MUCH!

This WORKED for my MX870!!! I cleaned it first and then tried this. Thanks Red Royce, you are a life saver!

printhead is smoked
