The 5200 error message indicates over heated print head. There may be some dried up accumulated ink on the bottom of the print head.
Start with printer powered off
1. Open cover of printer and verify that the ink cartridge carriage is
not in the center of the printer. Leave cover open.
2. Unplug the electrical cord from the printer and wait 30 seconds.
3. Plug electrical cord back in, when ink cartridge carriage moves to the
center of the printer quickly unplug the electrical cord again. This
should leave the ink cartridge carriage in the center of the printer so
you can get to it.
4. Lift up the gray arm that surrounds the ink cartridges.
5. Remove the entire ink cartridge holder (not just the ink cartridges).
It will lift out easily as a unit. Lower the gray arm that you lifted
to remove the cartridge holder. Check for any debris or residue and clean while it is out of the printer. You can use either isopropyl alcohol or hot water on a Qtip. Be care if you use alcohol because if you have rubber gaskets it may dry them out. I recommend warm water.
6. Close printer cover. Plug electricity back in.
7. There should be a message about checking the ink cartridge on the
display
8. Open printer, lift the gray arm that surrounds the ink cartridge area
and reinsert the ink cartridge holder (with the ink cartridges in it).
Lower the gray arm.
9. Close printer cover.
10. The display should appear normal now, and you should be able to
print again.
I hope this helps and good luck!
