Printhead error after replacing cartridge and making sure the printhead has been cleaned

Error code 0x9D on an Epson WorkForce WF-3540 printer typically indicates a problem with the printhead. Here are a few steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
2. Clean the printhead: Use a damp cloth or cotton swab to gently clean the printhead. Make sure to remove any debris or ink that may be clogging the printhead.
3. Check for jammed paper: Make sure there is no paper jammed inside the printer. If there is, remove it carefully.
4. Perform a printhead cleaning: From the printer's control panel navigate to the Maintenance menu and select the option to clean the printhead. If the problem persists, perform a deep cleaning.
5. Check the ink cartridges: Make sure that the ink cartridges are properly installed and that there is enough ink in them.
6. Check the printer driver: Make sure the printer driver is up-to-date and compatible with your computer's operating system.
7. Reset the printer: From the control panel navigate to the Setup menu and select the option to reset the printer.
8. If the above steps did not solve the problem, it is best to contact Epson customer service for further assistance and repair options.

It sounds like you have already tried a few steps to address the issue. Here are a few more things you can try:

1. Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in and turn it on.
2. Check to make sure the printer is not in an error state. If it is, clear the error and try printing again.
3. Try cleaning the print head manually. To do this, remove the print head and use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean it. You can also use a cleaning solution designed specifically for print heads.
4. Check the ink cartridges to make sure they are installed correctly and have enough ink. If they are low or empty, replace them.

If none of these steps work, it may be best to contact Canon support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or offer a repair service for your printer.

There are several things that could be causing your Kodak ESP 5250 printer to not print even after replacing the ink cartridges and print head. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Make sure the cartridges are installed correctly: Double-check that the ink cartridges are correctly installed in the printer. The cartridges should click into place and the lock lever should be in the down position.
2. Run a cleaning cycle: If the ink cartridges are installed correctly, run a cleaning cycle to clear any clogs in the printhead. Go to the printer's menu and look for a "clean printhead" option.
3. Check ink levels: Make sure that the ink levels are sufficient for printing. Check the ink level indicator on the printer's display screen.
4. Check for error messages: Look for any error messages on the printer's display screen or on your computer. If there is an error message, follow the instructions to resolve the issue.
5. Restart the printer: Sometimes simply restarting the printer can resolve issues. Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on again.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a more serious hardware issue with the printer that requires professional repair.

Hi Kathleen,

to clear the Canon B200 error code:

Steps for 4+ Cartridge Printers

1. Remove All Cartridges. Do whatever is necessary to remove the individual ink cartridges from your printer. In most cases this will be opening the lid of your printer and waiting for the cartridge cradle to move into the correct position.
2. Remove the Printhead. This is easily achieved in most printers by simply lifting the orange/gray locking lever on the side of the cartridge cradle and then gently lifting the printhead from the printer.
3. Reinstall the Printhead. Gently put the printhead back into your Canon Pixma printer and lock it into position firmly.
4. Reinstall All Cartridges. Place all of the cartridges back into the printer and close any open doors. This makes sure that your printer is actively examining the reinstalled cartridges and printhead.
5. Unplug the Printer. Physically remove your printers plug from the wall and leave it unplugged for 5+ minutes. This allows the printhead to cool and all residual electricity to leave the printer.
6. Plug the Printer Back.
7. Do a Nozzle Check or Cleaning Cycle. The B200 error does not tend to occur until your printer actively tries to use the printhead. As such I recommend performing one of these processes in an attempt to confirm the correct cartridge has been replaced.

Steps for 2 Cartridge Printers

1. Turn the Printer off. When your printer is in this error state it will not let the cartridge cradle within the printer move. However resetting the printer should clear the error message temporarily allowing us to troubleshoot further.
2. Turn the Printer Back on Again.
3. Remove the Problem Cartridge. Whilst the Canon Pixma error messages do not tend to specify which cartridge is causing the problem, you should be able to have a rough idea based upon which cartridge was last replaced.
4. Install a Replacement Cartridge. As the printhead is part of the cartridge, sadly there is no way to stop the B200 error without replacing the cartridge. I would recommend either installing a new cartridge or a previously used cartridge that you know to be functional.
5. Do a Nozzle Check or Cleaning Cycle. The B200 error does not tend to occur until your printer actively tries to use the printhead. As such I recommend performing one of these processes in an attempt to confirm the correct cartridge has been replaced.
6. If Necessary Replace the Other Cartridge. If the error persists with the new cartridge, it may be that the other cartridge has developed a fault and is the cause of the B200 support code. If at this point the error remians I can only recommend replacing the other cartridge.

Good luck! :)

It's worth repairing, That error on a Canon is saying that the printhead is bad, not your cartridges. The part number for your printhead is stamped on the side of the printhead could be QY6-0049-000 but I'm not sure.
