Persistent Error 99 code on Digital Rebel XT: Has anyone encountered such a problem and got a solution without sending the unit back to Canon?

Send it back ASAP As it in warranty as Error 99 is a general error some time due to a out of range setting in manual mode setting in the camera, bad lens and flash mounts plus more one thing to remember digital cameras with auto lens are very complex thing Thus more things to go wrong. Canon makes a ton of these, so some can be bad which is why we have warranty's

I am basically doing the same. it has problems regardless of the way the phone is connectedi did see a review (I think on amazon) that someone returned the printer and the new one was working properly 9suggests new firmware). Although I have yet to do it Canon (in my area (australia) can phone your fax to check the settings on the fax. It is possible that they may also be able to update settings.If I get around getting it sorted out I will set up phone lines to go through the fax.

I did encounter that error code just last week (after the printer was only 14 months old - fresh out of the warranty) and I did a lot of research. It's usually a bad print head. But what caused the head to go bad in the first place is the question. It could be an over-voltage issue from a bad circuit board (that would also need to be replaced) or it could be that you ran the printer with a dried up ink reservoir, which over-heated the print head, or it could be that it's really dirty and would have to be cleaned (although I didn't encounter anyone who eliminated that error code by cleaning it). So you have a few options: you can drop $70-80 on a new print head that may not fix the root problem and get damaged again, or you can take it to a repair shop and pay out the nose, but know it's repaired correctly, or you can just hedge your bets and buy a new printer (NOT a Canon). I opted for the latter and just got a new Epson. I'll never get another Canon printer.

I'm using an Olympus card (Fuji and Olympus created XD), but anyone's XD card will work.

Same trouble I had with mine right out of the box... requires Canon service and likely replacement. The electronic lenses are very flimsy and the slightest bit of dirt will ruin them.

Sorry; don't have a clue. I would call Canon. In my experience with the DSLR's, Canon's TSR's have good phone support and are very helpful (800) 828-4040 and listen to the prompts for the correct department.

Wish I could help but I had to send my Canon 720 IS in for the same problem three different times after purchase. The third time it was sent in for the same problem, they said it wasn't warranted anymore and wanted $90.00 to fix it. The Canon was replaced with a Nikon that has been picture perfect for three years.

Canon has a free lifetime support. Call them. I have several times and have been extremely satisfied with their service.

I have it in a Canon Rebel and have had no trouble. My camera reconized it right away. I know this is not exactly the info you wanted but maybe it will help someone else.

I had the same issue. Camera refused to operate. Said it was not a Nikon battery after firmware upgrade.

I had no problem aside from it taking quite a bit of time. You might want to call Canon and see if they can determine what the issue is.

I did have this problem with my "Canon" digital camera. I downloaded a program called "ZAR" (for ZeroAccountRecovery), which SUCCESSFULLY RESCUED 92% of the photo images on the SDHC card after about 1.5 hours of scanning the card. There is NO FEE for this particular function of the software!

Had this B200 error code for almost a year now, just set it aside and used my 10 year old printer (still running strong btw). Well recently I had the need to start scanning again. Pulled this broken printer out and after fiddling with it for a bit I found that removing all ink and the "printer head" ( the black plastic on which the cartridges sit on) allowed me to bypass the B200 code and allowed me to scan. If you get any other error codes you might be able to bypass if you hold "OK" or "Stop" buttons for about 10 seconds or more. Hope this info helps some of you out there seeing as how this is a very common problem for all canon printers.

This is why most reviewers say Canon has the worst customer service. You could try calling calculator support. Phone:1-800-OK-CANON. Good luck.

Yes, I had an error code come up before. I had to do a reset and replace with new cartridges. But my printer still works fine. Considering ordering this product again. I have an HP Photosmart C7280. But also be aware or which supplier or seller that you are ordering these cartridges from. That really makes a difference.
