My wife's Pixma 10 just died. Error code 200. Any Ideas? She has tried prior unplugging and restarting.
B200 Error- This could also be displayed as P10 or the orange and green light blinking 10 times
Description:
B200 is a service error that can occur due to a hardware failure with either the printer or the print head.
Resolution:
In most instances, a B200 error will require a repair at a Canon authorised repair centre, however prior to sending your printer for repair please follow the steps below to try and resolve this error-
1.Turn off the printer
2.Disconnect the power cable
3.Open the printer cover
4.Check for any orange protective tape or white polystyrene and remove if necessary
5.Check that there are no foreign objects in the printer (such as a paper clip) and remove if necessary
6.Close the cover
7.Reconnect and turn on
If the error message is still showing, then it is necessary to deliver or send the printer to an authorised repair centre.
If the printer is still under warranty, (generally one year from purchase) and supporting documentation is provided, then a free of charge warranty repair will be carried out.
If the warranty has expired, then any repairs can only be carried out at cost and charges will apply.

Canon telephone tech support is awesome.
Hopefully this helps anyone with a B200 error. I have a Pro-10 that started flashing alternating between the power and fault LEDs, 10 times per LED per sequence. Totally unresponsive to anything I did, has all Canon pigment installed and only Canon pigment has ever been installed. Tried unplugging power, restarting numerous times, nothing. I even tried someone's suggestion to unplug power, hold power button 30 seconds, reconnect AC power, still didn't work.
Here's what solved it after deciding to experiment to try and initiate a hard reset command and not feeling that holding the power button down for 30 seconds while unplugged would accomplish doing that.
I unplugged the unit, held the power button down for at least 30 seconds (was probably about a minute), while STILL HOLDING THE POWER BUTTON DOWN plugged the unit back in and kept holding the power button down for at least another 30 seconds (likely was more like a minute), while doing this the power LED was solid white the entire time... then while still holding down the power button also pressed and held the feed button for at least another 30 seconds (holding both down). Upon releasing the two buttons the printer appeared to be off.
I turned the printer back on and, lo and behold, it started up and performed a lengthy self clean cycle and functioned as normal.
Hope this helps someone, may work on the Pro-100 as well.
