B200 error on canon pixma pro100s

[Roberto Smith]

Got the dreaded B200 error on my Canon Pixma Pro 100s, which according to Canon now means I have an expensive paper weight. However after a bit of research / YouTube I've found a lot of people have actually managed to fix this.

I want to try replacing the print head as this might be the issue but it's "locked" over to the right-hand side of the printed and I can't move it (tried using a fair amount of force but it won't budge).

Anyone had a similar issue and did you figure out how to resolve the B200 error and also did you manage to get the print head free???

*edit* for info, it was working perfectly fine prior to this but was making a bit of a "clacking" noise. The image quality was fine though.

Probably you'll need to remove the cabinet in order to access the printhead. See this thread from 2021 :

Before buying a new print head, try cleaning the timing strip, that might reset the B200 error..
