I have a Canon MX870 with the B200 error also. It served me faithfully for 10 years, all with refilled cartridges. When I first received this error I was able to reset it using the method you describe. Every time I powered up, the error would come back but I was able to reset it. After about a...

Thanks @Artur5 for the additional help.

Thanks @palombian, your answers are very helpful.

PeterBJ and pearlhouse: Thanks for the help. I have visited the precisioncolors web site and found it to be very well organized and easy to get what I need. I had originally visited their ebay site but the web site is much better.

I have a Canon MX870 printer that has served me well for several years. I don't do a lot of printing - a few pages of text and occasional photos or sometimes grandkid's art (they use a lot of ink). I have been refilling some aftermarket cartridges for years but have experienced various...
