How to Clear Error Code B200 on Canon Pixma Printer

B200 error on Canon inkjet printers usually means the printhead is bad. This will guide you to reset the printhead. If it is a faulty printhead, it will go back to error b200, but if it was just a logic board glitch, you will be able to print again. Works for most Canon Pixma inkjet printers. This is Canon Pixma MG5420 printer. If you have a bad printhead, it can be purchased on eBay at a decent price.

If you still have error codes after you clear this error, see this video:
In this video we solve error code C000 or may also come up as error 6000

I cannot thank you enough! I initially had a B200 error on my Canon PIXMA MG5520 and then, after unplugging and restarting it, the error support code turned to the dreaded 1403 ("The type of print head is incorrect. Install the correct print head.") I unplugged it and left it alone for about 5 days, not as part of a plan, but just because I had other priorities to address. When I turned it back on, the B200 support code returned and, thankfully, wonderfully, spectacularly, I found your video! Worked like a charm. Once I got to the "home" screen, I chose "settings, " then "maintenance, " and cleaned the printhead and checked the nozzle (which indicated it was clogged). So I auto cleaned it again and it indicated it was unclogged. Whoo Hooo! Thank you so much for your wonderful video and for helping to save the environment from heaps of perfectly good printers that just need the right fix. Back to printing!!

OMG- I called Canon technical service and they told me that the b200 meant I needed to buy a new printer... This is the video that saved my Pixma from going out to the trash today! Thank you so much- you are amazing. 🤩

IT WORKS! Here are the details for MX922. Power down, unplug, move ink carriage & changed out all the ink cartridges. Plug in, powered up keeping the lid open till the ink carriage moved to center. Lid closed, got the menu. Went to print nozzle pattern and process started, then, the MX922 shut down. Power process repeated, got B200 code again.
Called Canon, the representative said that B200 code printer is dead, could be anything and there are no more Canon repair centers.
Then saw another video explaining the B200 code is printer head problem, not anything else. That video stress, remove the printer head and tap water wash. The MX922 removal is a bit complicated. Therefore, I re-seated the cartridges, started up again, got the menu.
Went straight to deep clean. Got thru that, then nozzle pattern print out, got that, then did auto alignment. Still got menu control, went to copy and did a text print out.
It work!!!
If that had failed, then either remove print head for washing or use damp q-tips.
Yet, the 303 solution work. The key, if you get the menu screen, go right to deep clean.
Another suggestion from the second video, update driver to have the latest.
Big Thank You 303!!! Happy New Year! You got mine on the right start, from Gregory Santana Trading

For those that still get an error code when they try to print the test pattern even after following these instructions try something else. Go ahead and replace the last ink cartridge you changed while the printer is off. Then turn the printer on as described in the video. Go to the menu-->maintenance-->deep cleaning-->print the test page. It worked for me right after I did this.

I had a B200 on my Canon MG6320. The printer ran out of ink. I cleaned the printhead, put in new cartridges, and tried to clear the error code but the B200 keeps coming back so I ordered a new printhead. But before I received the new printhead, I decided to give it one more try. I followed your instructions carefully and the reset process worked this time. Thank you

[maryagal]

A million Thank Yous! I had an urgent set of things that needed to be printed out ASAP for my family, and suddenly there's the B200 error. We were frantic. Then we looked at your video, and just as you showed us, the Pixma went back to normal. Many, many thanks again.

I dont usually comment on help videos but thank you so much you saved me paying for a new printer!! Id kept my printer in storage for a few years and left the ink cartridges in it (woops - wont be doing that again!). Id replaced the cartridges, cleaned the printer head like you explained and it works perfectly! I did have to reset it a couple of times afterwards but it got there! Great video and explained everything perfectly thanks so much!! :D

[marcusniessen]

Thank you for this video. My initial B200 error was due to a clogged print head, after several months of storage. The yellow nozzles had a spiky carpet over them, and the black was just plugged. I took a day to soak and rinse the head clean. After reinstalling with fresh ink I still had the B200 error. Your procedure was just the trick to get the head to reset. The print quality is again great. Many thanks.

This was seriously as easy as 1, 2, 3 ...
1 - replace all cartridges
2 - switch off the printer
3 - turn printer back on
Seriously, thank you! Painless and easy and you help save me tons of money

Great video, unfortunately it did not work for me. I had really high hopes while watching and trying to fix the B200 error on my MG5420 as the video instructs. I had new ink cartridges as I was running real low on ink but got the B200 code before replacing the ink cartridges. It did not work for me but happy to see it did help many other people.

[bekkabrat]

OMG SERIOUSLY U ARE A GENIUS! I followed your step-by-step instructions and although it took me several attempts (it seems the longer I left it unplugged, the better it was at resetting), It finally worked! I want to add that I also removed the printhead cartridge and washed it thoroughly with water removing tons of ink and also wiped it down with several alcohol swabs which also removed additional ink then replaced the print head cartridge replaced the individual ink cartridges then did your step-by-step instructions and it worked like a charm!! You indeed saved me The cost of replacing my Canon Pixma MX922 all-in-one printer and I am beyond happy! Thank you so much!! 😁😁😁

[georgelampe]

Many of my inks had run dry when my wife printed a whole lot. Hours later I reloaded all the inks and had to reboot twice, but this worked! Thank you so much!!!!

[parismerriam]

It worked! My ink cartridges were ok, I just followed your instructions, and it worked. My screen told me at the end I need to turn off the printer correctly, so I touched OK, and the printer works fine now.

[darrylschmidt]

Ok, no joke, this worked after approx 2 months of failed attempts to fix my canon pixma mg 6220. I tried cleaning the old print head 3 times, then bought a new print head thinking that would solve the issue....but the error message was still present. I was thinking that I'd probably have to throw this out and purchase a new printer. Just happened upon this video and thought what do i have to lose. I am very grateful that this was posted!!!

[manputtyu]

Excellent printer but Canon no longer supports it. This video saved the day. You must follow the video carefully

[rubbersoul]

I love you man! This ALSO fixed a 5100 error code on my MX922 that would not clear after a power blip! Nothing ever works the first time on YouTube! THANK

[davidzietlow]

I cleaned my printhead using hand sanitizer but was totally ready to give up when the code came back. I found your video and it solved the problem, the print head WAS clean but the printer had to reset in order to clear the code! THANK YOU!

[SailorGal]

Worked like a charm. Turns out two of my ink cartridges were totally empty. Replaced them and then followed what you did on the video. When I went to print a test page, unfortunately the error came back, but at least I tried. Thank you so much for giving us an option to try.

[lydialindsay]

I was about to buy a new printer when I found your video. You saved me a lot of money. Thank you for posting this video.

[paula]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I tried everything this week and I was looking at buying a new printer today. I thought I will give it another try and I came across your video and I can't believe it worked!!! "Heroes come in all forms, " and you are one!!! I love my MG5250, it's only $3 for ink compared to new ink printers it's $30+.
