Just on the hope someone might be able to help me. My Canon Pro 10 printer had an issue. It's the dreaded B200 error.
I followed the suggestions given here in a previous thread. It was powering off, holding the on key for 30 secs. Then holding the power key and the other key for 30 secs.
Hey presto it worked and it worked for over a year.
The other day I printed a number of photographs, all came out perfectly as they had all year.
Then suddenly the printed returned with the error 10 orange and white flashes. B200 error again.
I repeating the combination used previously and it doesn't work.
The orange light comes on and stays on. If I plug out and plug in it flashes 10 orange and white again.
I can't find any decription anywhere for a constant orange light and no white light on.
The printer carriage is stuck into the right hand site of the printer and there seems to be no way to get it back in the middle to inspect the ink / printer head.
Has anyone got any advice - is there anyway to get the carriage to move out from where it is manually.
I don't see any obvious way. I can't physically pull it (either with or without power in it). I can't find a spindle to move that moves the carriage.
As it's useless I've nothing to lose - It's not that obvious how to take it apart. I'm not sure if the plastic covers are screwed, clipped or glued together.
I want to take out the print head and clean it to see if it makes any difference but its inaccessible they way the printer has ended up.
(Rant - it seems ridiculous to me Canon can brick a printer because its detecting an error. The print head may well be worn out / falling apart but it was working just before the error came up. I can accept it telling me there is a problem and me seeing the result as a bad print - but just locking the user completely out of their machine seems very poor from a customer perspective.)
