It is absurd that Canon makes its customers jump through such an obscure reset process. Ridiculous. Thanks for the video.

OMG! You saved me from a year of frustrations! I had already spent hours trying all sorts of things using the Canon IJ Network Tool, and no luck! This was the right solution; thank you from the bottom of my heart! You rock!

On the newer PIXMA TS5150 it's "press 20 times" not 5 times. And it worked!

Saving me a visit to a Canon engineer that would cost more than a new printer...

Thank you. I just packed my printer to send it to repair, then I saw this video. I unpacked and try the hard reset. It worked for my Canon G7040 perfectly.

Genius!!! 😁 After battling for 3 hours, I found this video. It worked the very first time.

How do you reset it when the Stop button is a touch rather than a physical one? I had error B203 and can't get rid of the 'refer to manual' message.

[mauriciomendoza]

Brilliant!!! It worked. My printer is back in business !!! Thank you very much!! Got rid of the awful message B203. Most helpful video. Again, Thank you!!!

Thank you! I really thought I would have to get a new printer!! I have a Canon Pixma MG6620 and this worked! I even bought a new printer head and ink, thinking that those were the problem!

My MG5750 indicated the code B204, which several sites said was termina, l but after following your tip is now back operational again, it took 2 or 3 attempts but I can live with that. Thanks a bunch.

Cannon mg6620 PIXMA would turn on briefly, then power down. Did Thank you for saving me a new printer!!!!

[XDeathHackX]

My pixma mg6650 keeps shutting down or losing power after a minute, sometimes less of it staying on. I did the reset, but it's not resolving the issue.

YOU ARE THE BEST! Luckily it wasn't garbage collection this week as my Canon MG5420 would have become landfill. I had the dreaded B200 error message. After replacing all the ink cartridges (generic) and performing various reset versions, I gave up. Then I found yours! Your hard reset did the trick! Thank you so much for your video...I've subscribed!

Thank you so much. Fixed my printer with your video. I really appreciate it.

HI THERE. I HAVE AN " MG 5655 " PRINTER SCANNER AND SUDDENLY IT STOPED PRINTING.
IT ACTS LIKE IT'S PRINTING BUT THE PAPER COMES OUT BLANC. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH AN OTHER CANON SO I'M BEGINING TO THINK THAT MAYBE IT'S DONE ON PURPOSE. LIKE IT STOPS PRINTING AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PRINTS. IS THERE A WAY I CAN FIX THIS ? THANK YOU.
