Canon MX860 repeats B200 error code -- brought it back to store , they couldn't fix it.

Canon MX860 has error code B200, have cleaned and removed printer head
code still blinks.

Ref my MX860. So... I did NOT wash head or anything. I opened cover, shoved print head manually to left all the way. Rapidly pushed "on" button a bunch of times until unit beeped back at me with funny sounds and went completely dead... Well, before throwing out the second story window, I then rapidly, pushed "on" 5 or 6 times and noticed the print head moved to the right. I shut the deck and waited... and waited... the 'infamous' Canon 'I'm gonna print, no wait, wait, really, I am, in a minute, wait, wait, listen to my sweet sounds, wait, I'm fixin' to, wait". And then it happened! Everything got real quiet and my LCD screen popped up, looking totally normal. So far, it prints, copies and will send a fax. Try it, sure won't hurt, and it seems to have fixed mine :-)

  • Pixma mp990 b200 error code

    I am getting the B200 Error message which states to unplug the printer and contact the service center.  My first call to the center resulted in the advice of needing a new printhead and it would be better to buy a new printer.  This one is only 25 months old!  I cleaned the printhead per instructions I found online, and replaced it, but so far I still get the error coude.  I can get a new printhead for around $70-$75 on ebay.  Would this solve the problem, or do I need to reset the CPU.  So far an internet search has not produced information on resetting the CPU.  I did send off an information request to the service center via their email form, but have not heard back in over 24 hours!  Any ideas?

    I fixed this b200 error by searching this forum and following a few steps mentioned.
    1) Tried unplugging the printer for 10 minutes.... Powered on and same error.
    ***Note had to manually move printhead and cartriges over to the left to remove cartriges and printhead****
    2) Removed all ink cartriges and carefully put them in separate plastic bags (I didn't have the orange storage clips to seal the base)
    3) Watched youtube video on how to remove printhead for the MP990
    4) Watched youtube video on running low pressure warm water under the sink to clean printhead. I washed resevoir first until clear and no more ink visible, then turned upside down and washed underneath printhead until clear, then repeated washing top and bottom about 8-9 times until all ink was gone and ran clear. Took about 5 minutes and I was very patient.
    5) Carefully dried printhead with papertowels making sure all electrical contacts were completly dry.
    6) Reinstalled printhead and all cartriges
    7) Plugged printer back in and turned on and still got the B200 error
    8) The B200 error code reset fix: Powered the printer off and then back on and while powering back on push the Home Button and Power Button at the same time like 10-15 times repeatedly. Printer then cycles and starts up normally.
    9) I was having clogged jets and doing cleaning cycles periodically and was not able to clear the clogged jets. After washing the printhead I finally have a perfect running printer again. I had no idea you could wash the printhead. This would have saved me a lot of money in ink over the years. Now it's been 2 weeks and just ran another nozzle check and it's still perfect. Thank goodness I didn't want to buy another printer right now and probably would not purchase a new head for that price. 
    BTW. The only reason I can deal with this printer and it's crazy way of wasting so much in in cleaning cycles is that I have been using www.ldproducts.com ink for over 3 years on this printer and their quality and price is great. Also after every cleaning cycle you should always do a nozzle check and don't ever do more than 2 deep cleaning cycles in a row before printing. You could ruin your printhead if you cycle it too much. Now that I know about washing the printhead I will probably never do another deep cleaning again. It never works anyway.
    Hope this helps!

    Repeatedly, this error code suddenly appears on the screen and I don't have a clue what it means or what to do:  "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly.  If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the script?

    Hi,
    Some "movies' are actually Flash files.
    This means the Flash App will play them (possibly in a browser in some cases).
    Depending where this item is and how it is playing it may be effected by other things
    A web page can include javascript.
    Apple uses javascript here to help with creating the posting box, the Edit options, Adding pics/smilies and the like.
    Sometimes the javascript can be what is called a runaway process and gets sort of stuck in an endless loop.
    If it is a free standing item then it might be triggered by AppleScript on the Mac. (or be modified in some way)
    Again if the Script (normally written with a upper case S) is not perfect it can cause problems.

    Check out this Apple document -> iTunes Store: "An unknown error occured (-9808)"
    You'll probably have to make sure the date and time is correct on your computer.

  • External Hard Drive(ERROR CODE 0) .DMG Back Up Issues. How to get more than 4gbs in .DMG back ups.

    I am currently using a my external hard drive for my late 2009 Mac Mini, my brothers MBP and my sisters HP laptop. I have a Western Digital My Passport 1T external Hard Drive to back up all are information. I formatted it to work on mac and pc and its on the "MS-DOS(FAT) setup at the momment. Im trying to back up DMG files from my HDD hard drive in my computer to the External Hard Drive to pass them onto my brother. I understand the whole part of me getting the "Error Code 0" where i can only put 4gbs of storage for that. I wanted to no is there a way for me to format my external hard drive for it to work on a Mac and a PC but for me to also transfer my .dmg files with more than 4gbs of that storage to my external hard drive?
    p.s Im running on OSX 10.6.8 and the DMG files are alittle more than 4 gbs. From 5-10gbs. Thank you for all the replys. It helps me out and others in the Apple community out!

    Hi, Steve. Your proposed procedure is just fine until you get to this point:
    ...reformat the WD to be Mac friendly *and reformat in FAT32* ...
    Reformatting the newly-reformatted Mac-friendly drive as FAT32 will, as you say, simply put you back where you were before, but with your data on a different drive. Omit that step, and you'll have a Mac-friendly drive that you can copy your data back onto.
    If you normally work with files exceeding 4GB in size, you won't want any hard drive in FAT32 format. If for some reason you'd like all your external drives in NTFS format, download and install the NTFS-3G driver, which will enable your Mac to read *and write to* that disk format.
