Did a print the night before, no problems at all. The next morning B200; alternating white and orange lights X 10. Tried a power reset; no success there. The printhead carriage is parked at the right side of the printer, the ink bay doors will not open, no sounds whatsoever. Aside from the flashing lights the printer appears dead. I understand from Canon printer service that the B200 error is almost always printhead related. Where to go from here. Do I take it to the "authorized" service center or try to replace the printhead myself. I know the procedure is not simple; problem is I can't get the procedure to see if it's feasible for me to undertake it. Or, do I abandon the printer and buy another printer?
The printer is just under 6 years old, has never had any printing problems - no clogs ( try to print at least every other day ), no banding, etc. Estimate about 1000 prints over that time.
