B200 in Canon Inkjet Printers is Basically Cartridge Error. One of or more Cartriidges(With Built in Head) are either not 'Installed or Damaged. If the Printer uses Dedicated Print-Head with Ink Tank then, the Head must have burnt out and it needs replacement. Most of the times Wipping off the Nozzles of the Head with mild Alcohol solves the problem! Please make sure to turn off the Printerand Remove the Cartridges before Cleaning with Alcohol....

Replace your printerhead will do the trick. Had the same issue with my MP980

Helo, found on web. Good Luck :0)
The error code is standard for many of the late model MPxxx printers. The B200 error is "Printhead Temperature exceeded", What this means that while you were printing some document, either one or more of the printhead ink wells ran out of ink and the printing continued. Printhing without ink in the wells will OVERHEAT THE PRINTHEAD NOZZLES and can potentially burn the out. The printer has a built in temperature sensor to detect the ambient temperature and to monitor the temperature of the head. This data is always collected and monitored and saved in the EEprom data and the Service Test print data.
If the error will not go away once you have unplugged the priner for at least 5 minutes, then there is the possibility that you have already burnt out the head. Remove the printhead and use a 5x magnification glass to look VERY CLOSE at all of the nozzles to see if you can detect any possible burnt out nozzle.
It many come down to need a new printhead.

Try keeping the paper only in the bottom tray (there's a tray in the bottom) Try pulling any paper out of the top and just close that top tray. Open up the head so that u can see the ink cartridges and turn the printer on and off and maybe it will center itself again. If it's still not working (even if lights aren't red and print head wont align in the center) try manually moving the head back and forth like 18 times so you can lubricate that rail in the back that's holding it. After that, re-turn it off and on again.

Just restart the system and turn off the printer and turn on the printer it will work.
Check did you correctly placed your cartidges.
