    My MX922 gave me the B200 code and was worried the fix would cost more than the $320+ I paid for my Canon. Fortunately, you took the time to share your experiences with anyone interested and your fix worked the first time. Like you, I don't know how long it will last, but given the fact it's working again is a wonderful thing. Thank you very, very much for your help! I had the prior MX printer for over 8 years, and finally had issues with it. I replaced it with my MX922. Something tells me if I would have searched RUclips I may have found a helpful video like yours and I might still be using it. Best wishes and continued success both professionally and personally!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Anyone who comes across this video, this is a TRUE testimony. IT WORKS but it may take a few tries to reboot the printer after cleaning. Keep reading here. We followed the cleaning instructions to a T, reseated and restarted the printer (we had to slide the tray manually as the printer did not center it as shown on the video but, hey, it worked). Then started it up, everything looked fine, sent a document to be printed ... and then ... B200 error again. Aaarghhh. Took all the ink cartridges out, removed the print head, re-seated it, put everything back together again, and after a few minutes, the printer was fine. Fingers crossed, we did a test page, waited what seemed like an eternity of whirring and humming and self-adjusting, and finally it printed a test page. It was not perfect, some printed lines weren't quite aligned. BTW, MAKE SURE your ink cartridges are not nearly empty. But I tested it with a regular Word document, and it worked perfectly or rather, just as imperfectly as before the B200 error. Our printer is nearly 7 years old, and given the longevity of electronics these days, I'd say that's pretty darned good! MUCHAS GRACIAS, if you don't have one yet, you deserve an "ECO Hero of the Century" badge!

    A most helpful video,. Thank you so much. I followed your instructions and had complete success. I did not need to use the alcohol, but rinsed the component many times in water. I then dried it with a hair drie and left it for two hours. It has worked perfectly. I am 82 - even older than your last contributor, but I hope a lively - and am very grateful.

    Second time Ive had to remove the printhead to unclog it. This video is so much faster and easier than reading through printed instructions which I did the first time which was almost two years ago. The lesson for me is that I need to do a cleaning through the printer maintenance function occasionally.

    OMG! We had 2 Canon MX922 printers with the B200 Error and we watched this video, followed instructions in removing the print heads and swished them in warm water until the ink stopped flowing out of the heads. We let them dry over night. Now both printers are working perfectly again!! We are so delighted! Thank you so much for this video to help us get our beloved MX922s back to functioning! We were surprised how easy the print head came out and went back in. Super advice for all of us!!! Thank you so very much!!!

I did notice that my black printer cartridge would not release ink initially (PGBK 250XL), so I did a cleaning of the ink jet nozzles multiple times solving the issue. Everything is working great again, thank you so much for this video!

    Brilliant thanks. By far the best advice on B200 error on utube . Clearly spoken, demonstrated, and logical. Worked for me after trying everything. Soaked printer head overnight and flushed with warm water. Dried off in draft of open fan oven.
    Others give ridiculous advice such as taping off electrical contacts and losing colour printing!

    This was a real pain in the a... but after three days cleaning the printhead with different things, finally I was succesful by usin a detergent that the Dollar Tree sells for $1.00 called Wow, then I put it back and didn't work, so I put new ink and didn't work either. When I was about to give up I try the method of opening the cover and the ink cover and waiting for the cartidges to go to the left, I did that twice and didn't work but then and pray and did it again and it worked. Praise God. I didn't want to spend money in a new printer. Thank you very much.😀😀

    Well done video. It was clear and easy to follow. I wanted to add my success story to the list. I was getting the B200 error with my MG6320 and I washed the print head twice: warm water followed by IPA soak - ERROR - warm water, IPA again - SUCCESS. (The MG6320 takes 6 cartridges, but otherwise very similar.) On the second go, I took a Q-tip and very gently wiped the pins in the printer that contact the print head.
    As an aside - IPA is NOT rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol contains oils and does not dry residue-free. I should add, too, that IPA is a desiccant. It will absorb the water and speed the drying process.

    I have to say thank you for this great fix video for my Cannon MX 922 printer. I replaced all the ink cartridges first. No fix with this move. Then I tried the opening the document cover, and the ink cover. I waited until the ink cartridges moved to the left. I shut the cover, and on the first attempt the B200 error code was gone, and my printer rebooted! A very easy fix, and a well done video on the removal of the B-200 error code on the Cannon MX 922 printer

    Thank you!!! I have the printer Canon MP620. I did the following advice from your video: lifted the top cover, then lifted the ink are cover, turned off the printer, waited a few seconds, then turned the printer back on and as soon as I heard the ink cartridge move, I closed the first cover and then the second cover, and waited for the printer to finish booting up. (I forgot to remove the ink) And it worked!!! I don't have the error anymore!!! Thank you so much!!!

    Fantastic video!! May I add as a tech that should you use isopropyl alcohol--which is a great idea--use lab grade 99.9 percent formula. It will dry much faster and won't damage the green copper point electrical contact board. This is the first video that I've seen that thoroughly explains a common problem with Canon printers. Excellent.

      @@barbaramcstowe5840 Barbara. Same issue. If necessary, the ink cartridge carriage can be moved gently, manually, in order to position it for ink cartridge removal and releasing the "gate" for print head removal. Closely examine both edges of the carriage and adjust its position, manually, to insure clearance for gate opening. It's a short pull and releases with a pop. I had to review the video several times, transcribe the steps and move each part (with the aid of good lighting, strong reading glasses I use for tying fishing knots and use a magnifying glass) to truly understand what must be done. Don't give up.

    Thanks for this video to help narrow down the problem on a very old Pixma MP620B. Before I was going to try to soak the printhead as you suggest, I tried one other fix. I used some electromechanical switch contact cleaner (available from electronics shops) to clean the contact surfaces on the printhead that interface to the gold pins inside the printer. That seems to have fixed the B200 error. So it seems that contact problems on that interface (maybe due to oxidation or dirt) can cause the B200 error as well. We'll see how long this repair lasts.

    Thank you so much you have saved my MX925!!! The video is really well done, I had almost lost hope until I found it. To solve the B200 error I had to rinse the printer head in hot water, then I dried it using both a hairdryer and compresser air. Problem solved, thank you once again!!!

    Thank you for posting, I used an aerosol can of contact cleaner (electrical cleaner) which cleans most things, i sprayed it into each ink cartridge Chanel , and I blew everything dry with an aerosol can of compressed air, I put the print back into the printer and let it do its thing, and hey presto everything working, if it doesn't work the first time then repeat the cleaning, dont give up this does work eventually, so thank you so much for this.

    I had this problem in 2019. For me, I found that not only did I need to (1) clean the print head; (2) make sure all cartridges had ink; (3) make sure all cartridges were Canon OME; I also (4) moved the paper tray guide up just a little from the LTR, making it slightly smaller. Before I ever cleaned the print head I changed the tray setting and it worked, but the error came back a few days later. Thank you for your video, you did a great job of explaining.

    Hi, Thank you! It was great to find you! You opened a new area of knowledge for me in my 70th. I cleaned the printhead. When it did not work, I cleaned it again. I have succeeded so far to get the B200 Error removed and I got to Maintenance, but no maintenance could be performed - the B200 appeared again whatever maintenance I chose. Finally, the power went off by itself and it would not go on anymore. Originally the Geeks at Bestbuys said the rollers needed to be replaced but did not clarify which rollers, and they don't have them and don't do the work. UBREAIFIX doesn't work on printers... And I have a large number of new cartridges that I bought... ):

  • @GregN-d9l

    Thank you so much for a great instructional RUclips video, which is very easy to follow.
    I have a Canon mx926 printer, which is almost the same as the mx922.
    Following your steps, I was able to resolve the B200 error I was getting (for how long, only time will tell).
    In my case, I washed the print head in warm water only, for about 20 minutes or more. Just a crazy amount of ink was still in the print head. Then left to dry overnight.
    Unfortunately the B200 error occurred immediately after putting everything back, but after powering off and back on, and doing step 2 again (close door at half-way point when when ink cartridges moving to the left) I was able to get into the maintenance menu and run the normal cleaning cycle. I did this 3 times, each time selecting Yes to print the nozzle test page, and noticing an improvement each time. After that, the printer was back in business.
    It's painful to think that I threw out my previous printer (mx726) because of the same B200 error. It probably could have been revived in the same way.

    Well I tried to call Cannon and couldn’t even get a live person on the line to help me so I looked for a video and found you! Thank goodness I was able to do what you said and open the printer, remove cartridges and printer head and wash it off. Now I’m just waiting for it to dry and hoping this works out. I don’t want to pay someone to fix it over $100 when I could just invest in another printer for that amount. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 this fixed the horrible error!!!!

    Thank you for your terrific instructions. I cleaned as demonstrated and the computer worked beautifully for 4 or 5 months. Now I've again received the B200 message and am in the process of cleaning again. BUT HERE'S MY QUESTION: Should I consider buying a replacement printhead at this point? Before deciding, I wondered how many times you've now successfully cleaned the printhead on your Canon Pixma 922. Is it still working?

    Awesome, thank you for the great tech video. Have loved my MX922 for several years, I use inexpensive ink cartridges I get on Amazon. Started getting the error 200 code this past week. I went directly to your second method and removed the printer head. I did warm water and then let the head dry thoroughly. Put everything back and I am printing like new again. Not sure how long this will last but I feel that it will last a while. I was literally looking online to buy a new printer, but you have saved my MX922 and I can use the many ink cartridges I have for it.

      Do you think the use of off-brand carts may have contributed to the B200 error? I have two Canon printers and the one that has a single off-brand cart has given the first B200. Coincidence? Maybe...

  • @likeliterallysocute

    Thank you so much this worked for me. Incase anyone doesn't have replacement ink cartages on hand, i skipped that part and just went removing the printhead. Ran it under the water for 10 minutes until it can clear. I was impatient so I put it infront of my air vent (on high) moving it in all directions. Put it back in and it worked.

  • @billinak8939
    @billinak8939 3 года назад +2

    No luck. In my case, I got a message that one of the ink cartridges was empty. I replaced it with a new one. Then I received the b200 message. I followed your instructions on cleaning the print head and put it all back together and I still get the b200. I checked all the print head connections and they all looked fine, I cleaned them anyway and still get b200. Is it safe to say that my print head is dead? Thank you, it was a great video and congratulations to all this worked for.

    • @Tech4Baba
      @Tech4Baba  3 года назад

    Thank you so, so much for your advice. Was getting that B200 error and initially, was not even able to install new ink. Panicked, as I had docs to print out. Followed your advice, had to do it several times but it worked. I would suggest that one does not let all the ink run out. 1st time I'd done that, and 1st time I had that problem. Will not do that again. Will change ink colors, as they run out, individually. Thanks so much.

    Hi, Tech4baba. Thank you for this video. I tried everything in your video and still no luck. I did order a new print head and my baby is working again. You helped me to get it installed properly. To anyone reading this. Don't throw the printer away. Order the print head from Ebay. Find a U.S. dealer, with good reviews. Stay away from the knock offs from China. The print head has to be from Japan. Otherwise it is a knockoff. I paid about 125.00 dollars with shipping and tax. This printer can't be replaced unless you want to spend about 1000.00 dollars. This thing is a tank and I got almost 7 years out of her. I should probably get another 7 years. Be kind to our planet and get her going again. Good luck.

    Thank you - it was your video that removed my Error B200 code on my Canon MG5560. The bit where you shut the lid whilst the carriage is still traveling to the left - whilst it's still moving - that got rid of the B200 error. Thank you. I need 2 fresh inks. My printer is very touchy about paper feed as well but at least I can print with it now. Great clear video instructions.

I have taken the print head out, and run it through water, and then 91% isopropyl alcohol for about 30 minutes. Will give all electrical contacts a gentle cleaning, and we'll try this tomorrow night. I have a feeling it will work. Thank you either way for an excellent video.
