5100 is a Carriage Home Position Error. try cleaning the plastic strip that runs the length of the carriage, it may be contaminated. Use alcohol and a swab Good luck. Thanks for using FixYa.

This can be fixed at home. It's a design flaw that locates a little paddle right on the edge of an infared light beam when the paddle is resting where it should be when no paper is in the printer. If they had extended this black plastic paddle ever so slightly toward the front of the printer, it would surely interrupt the beam as it is supposed to do. Raise the platten section as if you were going to change the ink cartridges. Locate the white plastic plate with 8 little white rollers along its front edge. About 1.5" from the right edge of this plate is slot about .25" wide, just under a metal bar going across the printer. Down in this slot is a little black plastic finger that gets lifted up when a piece of paper goes through. This little finger is the lower end of the paddle above. Poke gently on this little finger with a little stick or dowel rod. Make sure there's no paper under it. Put the lid down and try it. If still giving the paper jam error, you'll have to take the whole blooming cover off to get to the paddle. I put a piece of black electrician's tape over the paddle to extend it forward to be sure to interrupt the beam. The key to opening the cover is to start with the gray plastic pieces on each side. They move down toward the floor about 1/8" to come off. Be gentle. Try never to tip the printer on its side ink will run and make a mess. I highly recommend a pair of rubber gloves once inside -my fingers got green ink on them and it doesn't come off. Good luck.

Hey
The waste ink pads in the bottom of the printer need to be replaced since they are full. or you can just reset the waste ink counter without replacing the pads in the bottom of the printer, you would have to disassemble the printer to get into the pads in the bottom of the printer in the area where the printer head carrier moves.

a special program is needed for the reset, its available from this page http://ekse.pp.fi/MPTool/MPTool.exe

download and run the above program, and reset the main waste ink couter. if the problem continues then platen.
you will some day have to replace them when there starts to be excess ink in the machine, overflowing from the pads...

When you installed your printer software, a folder called "Canon" should have been created; probably under "Programs" . Inside the Canon folder is a file cal;led MP Navigator EX3.0 (actually mine is MP Navigator EX2.1). Inside that file is a program called MPNEX30 (again, mine says MPNEX21). Double click on it and you should be in business. If you don't have the file, download it from the Canon website http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp460#DriversAndSoftware

Hi You can download it from below link. Click here Click on above link wait for sometime then download driver for your os. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

Have you tried a different black cartridge. It sounds like the chip on the cartridge is defective.

Hi!Just make sure that the paper size is set to A4 in the pdf file,can not think of anything else that might be causing the problem?Good Luck!Hope it helps!

This error message is displayed by the printer when paper is jammed in one or more locations. In such a case, users are recommended to remove the jammed paper from the specified location. The entire paper path must be checked for any pieces of paper. To stop the message, open and close the top most cover of the printer. Lastly, verify the flags and the sensors. If the problem persists, the cause of the error message could be a broken sensor or sensor lever.

• ERROR LCD: Auto head align has failed. Press [OK] and repeat operation. <See manual>
• How do I align the print head?
• How do I adjust the scanning resolution?

what you will want to do is go to your manufacturers website and search for a driver download of the printer you have to your laptop and than install it after doing so it should work fine

Hi,

You can download the software from manufacturer's support website by clicking this link

On the page which opens, select the operating system of your computer (Windows XP/ Vista..) from the drop-down menu (See attached image).

Then download the required drivers and software.

The list of available software and drivers will load only after selecting the operating system of the computer.

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.
