How to remove printhead Canon MX922, MX925, MX722 Printers 

Fantastic video. This 77 year old managed to put a new printer head in without problem after watching your demo. So thrilled and you saved me getting a new printer. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!!!!! A number of people give directions on how to take the printer head out, but YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE who explained the barrier that needs to be moved first so I was unsuccessful till I saw your video. The others also did nonsensical things like rinse the toner cartridge and stick it right back in the machine. Thanks again for helping me learn how to remove the printer head correctly!!!!!

Your plain instructions worked perfectly and saved me from having to buy a new printer!

With my large black print totally blocked, I was at a loss how to go at trying to clean the heads. Finding this and to find how simple and well designed this printer is to clean the heads, your video saved the day for me. Thank you!

Thank you for this. I picked up the MX922 for $12 at a thrift store and this got it working.

Thank you so much for this video man, printer prices have sky rocketed, was able to remove my print head, clean it, and boom my printer is working just like day 1 again!

If I didn't see your video I would never know how to get the printhead out. Thanks!

This was a really useful video and helped me avoid buying a new printer. The pigment black had completely stopped printing and I was able to fix the problem by soaking the print head in warm water for a couple of hours.

Thank you so much mate, a tech was going to charge me $250AU to fix it. I followed your instructions and it works perfectly now. You are a legend. Cheers, John

Excellent video, unlike others you show exactly how to remove and replace the head, I washed mine thoroughly under ordinary running water, dried it, put it back and it cured the B200 error

I fallowed your instructions using Q-tips with Denatured Alcohol to clean the print head and I have my printer back. Thank you so much!!!

YOU HAVE JUST SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY! Sorry shouldn't yell but I am super excited. Thank you so much!!! I don't need to buy a new printer or even a new printhead. THANK YOU!!!!!

Thanks a Million!! I've been trying refilled cartridges but they don't last as long as originals and the clogged up the ink feed and printheads. I didn't know the printhead was removable,your guide is simple and very well done :)

WOW!!! You made it look so easy. In practice, it was even easier. Hadn't used the printer for a few years as I have a black and white laser. Now I needed it and the jets were clogged. Didn't even occur to me the print head could be removed and cleaned. You did this video as if we haven't got a clue how to do this (and I didn't). Took only 2 minutes while watching the video. Thanks for the time it took to do the video.

Thank you, this video and the other one about cleaning the print head solved my B200 error in my Canon MX925. It was not too difficult to perform. BTW, I did not just soak the print head but cleaned it in an ultrasonic cleaner that I happen to own. For the record, I did not flush the ink channels because I did not have a fitting hose. But just cleaning and drying did the trick already. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. It worked - MX922 only had > 2001 pages. My PGBK was totally plugged and no Black copies. Now everything works !!!. Do you mind if I mention you on Canon Community. No body answered me or anyone else with similar problems. Just did a search one how to remove the print head and found you with all the answers. Thanks Again !!

Thank you. Complete and usable explanation. Very helpful.

Thanks, that was really helpful. Once you learn how to do it it's simple and it can really extend the life of your printer.

Many thanks for this. The previous time we spent at least half an hour trying to get the print head out and then back. Your clear explanation made it a matter of seconds.

Cannot thank you enough! Printer that I believed was history is now operating like new! 👍

Thank you. My yellow clogged after a couple of months with no ink in it. I put in fresh ink and orange was coming out pink. Canon made it seem impossible to remove the printhead like it was screwed in, but this video made it really simple.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the video. I have been trying to clean the print head multiple times to no avail. This video did the trick!

Thank you. I was able to follow your directions easily.

Thank you mate, you helped me to solve and fix error B200 in my Pixma MX 925!

Thanks for your video I saved my printer by cleaning the printhead!!

Perfect! Thank you so much! Got my printer printing again, after 10 minutes of easy effort! You're the BEST!! :D

Thanks! I was able to unclog and fix my printer in about 10 minutes and it's working great. Thanks for the tutorial. Saved me a lot of time....and money. ;)

NO help from Canon support. Advised to purchase a new printer. Tomorrow, I will remove the print head as shown. Wish me luck. Normally I am a guy who reads about mechanical stuff. You have inspired me to DIY.

Thank you so much! Saved me from buying another printer. I bought this used so idk if she ever cleaned it and I’ve done a ton of printing.

THANK YOU!!! I thought I'd have to get a new printer but running it under water for about 15 minutes worked! We tried cleaning with alcohol and qtips first but that didn't work.

You saved me from buying a new printer, thank you!!

Great video. Going to give it a shot.

Thank you very much for that good instruction video. It helped me save my printer!

Thanks for the helpful video. What was the solution that you used to clean the printhead? Also, did you submerge the printhead in the solution? Thanks again.

great video do you happen to have a video that shows you how to soak and clean the heads?

I know this is an old post, my print head is out of alignment, I'm interested in what solution you used for cleaning your print head please & excellent tutorial as well

Thank soooooooo much because of you I was able to clean My ink Jet on my 922 Canon and now it work as good as new. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!! I bought a replacement print head. And this video helped me install the new one!! Thanks a bunch!! You rock!! Just subscribed and liked!!

Thank you. Soaking in alcohol now for a couple hours. PITA. Hopefully will fix this B200 error code on same printer!

You don't need to manually move the print head holder. If you press and hold "Stop/cancel" the print head holder will move to the correct position - the display will read "the print head holder is now in the remove print head position" or something similar.

I had Error B200 and solved, thank you!

Perfect. Just what I needed. Thanks!!

Your video is a big help, witch type of cleaning solution we use?

great, precise and quick tutorial, very helpful, thanks!

thank you! this was very helpful. I appreciate your knowledge.

Thank you so very, very much. Don't ever feel you are not appreciated. Much love!!!!!💯💥👌💋

Very informative, very useful, & very helpful video. Much appreciated. I’m about to check your channel to see if you have more maintenance vids on that exact (MX922) model or similar, including hopefully how to clean the print head. (I may need to rewatch this one, I didn’t hear what solution specifically you planned on soaking printhead in, perhaps I missed it) I just bought the MX922 used & while it works, it definitely has some issues, including a clear amount of ink staining in the internals (viewed via same method you display here behind cartridges, but on the white plastic roller components, & the horizontal metal bar that traverses the inside from edge to edge (if I’m not mistaken). I’m wondering how far inside I should venture, (& learning how to access/remove the critical component in this video helps tremendously) &/or whether I should attempt to clean those components as well, if so how well, etc. Canon doesn’t even seem to offer a true PDF on this model , seemingly only making it available as a .dmg, Or an “installer” for Max (.exe equivalent) as opposed to simple PDF. It further complicates matters that this model is around 5-6 years old now I believe.

Thank you for this. You saved me a lot of time and effort.

Took the print head out, cleaned it by soaking in water and rinsing in running water. I took it out because magenta went out for no apparent reason. New magenta cartridge didn't fix it. Now I have no color at all, just black and white. I dried it in front of a heater overnight and replaced the print head in the morning. I ran "deep clean printhead" a bunch of times to get ink into the head but still no color. Any ideas? Could the print head not be installed correctly?

In less than two minutes you get me the solution not to buy another printer. Thank you!

Perfect explanation. Nice, simple, and efficient.

Thank you! Worked for me as well. Great tutorial.

FANTASTIC!! this helped. my my printer head was full of gunk and ink and dust. wow But what do you soak it in? is regular tap water ok?

This is a great instructive video. Thanks bro

Can you go into more details on how you clean it? Beyond "soak it for a few hours in a cleaning solution"

That was super helpful, thank you!!!

Great video. What kind of cleaning solution do you use to soak the print head?

great Video - what type of cleaning solution should i use to soak it in please? Thanks, John

Very good video. I cleaned the print-head in warm water and let it soak in a bowl. I still got the error. I replaced all the ink cartilages with new ones and tried the hack several times. Still the error. I again cleaned the print-head in warm water and concentrated on the round pads that the ink goes into from the cartridge turning the cartridge upside down some. I did a better job this time and kept soaking it in a bowl and cleaning it until no more ink showed up. I put back the ink cartridge that were removed about 15 hours ago and still got the error. Is this print-head hopeless and needs replacing or do you think there's something else going on. I've had this printer for about 5 years and never had this B200 error before. I have used it a lot about 5-10 pages a day. Thanks for your excellent help already with this video

Thanks for the video! The head cleaning didn't work for me. Still have the faulty code.

Just watched the video, and I don't know how to pry the back of the print head up. I'm having trouble getting it up and out. Is there a trick to it? Any instruction would be helpful. Thanks.

This saved the day. Thank you!

oh. I totally missed the bit where you pulled the locking lever at the bottom front, at first. Took me a few rewinds to get it.

I have same printer and some of the black lines now print out blurry. I use compatible ink. In photo mode it prints correctly. Should I buy a new print head?

I did every thing to clean. now I have an erra code B200. is it time get another one?

if i don't have cleanong solution can i use warm water ???

Thanks, it was very helpful for me.

Thanks very helpful. A few tips on soaking would have been helpful - see below. Thanks all for the additional soaking tips.

Thanks for Help, very good Video !

I did everything you said. Got it done but black is still printing in bands. All other colors are fine. What now??

How do you clean the head? What type of solution?

If I am to order a replacement Cannon Prixma MX922 printhead, what information Do I need. ? Is there a number on the printhead that I can quote? Thanks

Thanks. Super helpful!

I have MX926. and I have error b200. I done everything, hard reset, clean ink basket. Still same error. I found cleaning or changing drain sponge will help, but I can't find this on You Tube or don't know how to get into it. Any idea?

Thank you. Figured it would help. But now all the colors do not print now, just the pigment black. It's a brand new reputable printhead replacement. Seems the CMY and dye black purge lines are clogged now? Any ideas? Thanks! Cleaned the squeegees and the encoder strip too.

my printhead has clips holding it in. Not sure how to deal with these.

so my printer wont power on. so how do i remove the ink. the ink is brand new. im looking all over for disassembly for removal.

Hi - thanks for posting - also resolved my B200 error on MX925 - just took out the head, cleaned it, and put back in, put cartridges back in and bingo. Might be a coincidence, but during this I did notice that the yellow had run out which had not come up as a low ink warning. Only problem I had was getting the printer head into the middle position as it was parking hard up on the right and not doing its usual centering when I opened the door. Tried few things but got there in the end (not sure exactly how - I think it just turning on and off a few times and opening the door during the warm up when all the clanking etc is going on)

What did you use to clean it once removed?

Thanks a lot, this really helped and showed exactly how to manage the problem! :))

To move the printhead holder to the remove position just hold the STOP button for 5 sec or so!

بارك الله فيك خويا وربي يسترك 🇩🇿

Thank you. It worked!

Thanks. Helped out

When I tilt the print head forward to remove, it can not be pulled past the roof of that housing. It is too large for it. Any suggestions please?

Great video, Thanks.

Hi, my printer head (Canon MX925) is stuck on the right side..Any suggestions how i can get it into the middle. i tried to move it but it is impossible. The printer is showing the support code b200 and is doing nothing than a wired rattle :( I would appreciate your help.

I cleaned it and it still doesn't work, anything else I can do? I just bought a entire set of ink. Get instructions do you sell a new head or what I need? Thanks

Ah hah! So that's how it's done. Thankyou very much.

What can you use to manually clean it? IPA?

The printer is now "printing" pages without ink, i.e., blank pages, and the error message says the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. I can't find anything online about replacing "toner" cartridges, only ink cartridges. Any thoughts?

b200 error can be solved replacing the printhead?

what is the cleaning solution?

Thank you sir!

Thank you!

Thank you so much saved me so much money

thanks for this

I have a MX922 and I can not get the front panel (with colors on it) to drop down. Was afraid to force it. Any suggestions?

When I put the print head back on I received error message saying I have the wrong head.

I have the same exact printer, yet I can’t yank it out
