Hi, I have a B200 error and I am attempting to isolate whether the issue is the logic board/ printhead or both for an MX850. The following parameters apply when switching the printer on at the top panel on/off switch: (i) B200 error appears; (ii) If I open the scanner bed with the power off and physically remove the printhead and switch printer on with the cradle lock handle down and lower the scanner bed, I do not receive the B200 error. Question: Does this establish the fault lies with the printhead or could it still be the logic board? That is, with the printhead removed, if the logic board is faulty will still give a B200 error? A related question is what is the standard technical procedure for isolating the printhead as the faulty mechanism? With thanks, Tim
1) The Support Code b200 is an error message that may arise with the text which states "Printer Error Occurred", or "Contact the Service Center".
2) You will receive this message on your printer due to an electronic problem which may arise in the ink cartridges.
3) Open the top cover of your printer. Discard all the cartridges. Get rid of the printhead by lifting the lever which is placed just near the cartridge cradle, then take the printhead from the printer.
4) Re-insert the printhead back into its correct position, and ensure to lock the lever. Insert all the cartridges into their correct position, and confirm that there is no open door.
5) Unplug your printer cord from the electricity board, and keep it unplugged for a few minutes.
6) Let the printer cool down. Plug the printer back again.

you can always try to install the printer on a friend's pc as a test of the printer...do you have the install cd? if not try canon's site to download it.

Just restart the system and turn off the printer and turn on the printer it will work.
Check did you correctly placed your cartidges.

Try keeping the paper only in the bottom tray (there's a tray in the bottom) Try pulling any paper out of the top and just close that top tray. Open up the head so that u can see the ink cartridges and turn the printer on and off and maybe it will center itself again. If it's still not working (even if lights aren't red and print head wont align in the center) try manually moving the head back and forth like 18 times so you can lubricate that rail in the back that's holding it. After that, re-turn it off and on again.
