Printer Brother DCP-6690cw unable to print 50, sometimes unable to clean 50. please help

A 50 error code indicates a problem with the "maintenance unit".
This unit controls and cleans the printhead and ink delivery system. You will need a technician to figure out if this is the problem or some other component has failed.

Error 46 and says unable to clean. can u help me plz

According to the manual, the unable to clean error means a mechanical problem or a foreign object in the machine: Open the scanner cover and remove
any foreign obstacles inside the
machine. If the error message
continues, disconnect the machine
from the power source for several
minutes then reconnect it.
