Oh no in the middle of printing my Christmas Calendars my Canon Pixma iP 4820 has died. The error message is B200 if that means anything.I have tried unplugging and re-plugging and turning it on and off in the hope the orange light would not flash anymore, but sadly nothing.
If any one has any ideas please let me know.
Also should I be able to afford a new one they all seem to be wireless. My lap top is at least five years old, would I be able to hook up a wireless model.
Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry this has happened to you. Good luck, and have a happy holiday.

Santa may bring you a new one!
Most printers can be physically connected to your computer even if they are wireless. I us an HP Officejet 8620 connected to my desktop via USB cable. I print to it via my wireless network from my laptop. Not much difference in print speed if any.
Suggest you check in with UHH’s great “Printers and Color Printing” sub-forum for some expert advice. Click the link to “All Sections” at the bottom of this page. Then scroll down to find the “Printers...” sub-forum. There are good people there who can ease your worries. Happy holidays!

I hope your using the ink that's called for your printer. Sometimes the gray market stuff will give you trouble.
I know this is a dumb question but have you called Canon? They might be able to help.

Seems like a good excuse to get a new one. The Canon pro 100 goes for only $100 after rebate. Check out B&H or Adorama

You can get a new one on Amazon for about $550.
https://www.amazon.com/Canon-iP4820-Premium-Printer-4496B002/dp/B003VQR1T8Years ago, I got tired of buying ink for several different printers, so I standardized on the iP4500. I found several on ebay at good prices, so I'm set for a while, but they seem to run forever. The one I'm using here is over ten years old.
Here are some comparison sites - if the links still work.

Call Canon tec. svs. (800) 652-2666
1. Turn OFF Power
2. Open the print head bay (as though you were about to change inks)
3. Turn ON power
4. Wait for print carriage to start moving to the left and let it go past half way
5. Before print carriage reaches left hand side (but after going halfway across) shut the cover.
6. Leave the Printer turned on
7. Good to go.
(Very occasionally I have had to do this twice in a row to get past the error)
if you feel confident, you may try this:(written by a Canon Tech support person)
