Canon printer MG5250 not printing error code UO52 saying the type of print head is incorrect install the correct print head

This is a common Canon error (been going on for years)
see
http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Printer-Multifunction-Support/Call-to-Arms-for-the-dreaded-U052-Wrong-Printhead-Error/td-p/65759

You can try removing all inks. Switch off and unplug from the wall.
Wait
Reinstall inks and switch on
(you may need to switch on first to align the print head) Switching off at the wall while the printheads are in view will leave them accessible.

"...at least 16 different Canon printer models have been identified that display an error message of "U052: Wrong Printhead Error," after limited use. This error indicates that the printer does not recognize the printhead, or that the printhead itself is faulty, but disables all functions of the printer, including scanning and facsimile capabilities, rendering the printer unsuitable for its intended purpose and use."

Per Canon's website, and this just worked for my mp620:
Turn the printer on.
Open the cover.
Remove the ink cartridges.
Remove the printhead.
Re-install the above (this resets the printhead).
Close the cover.
Printer should initialize and go to home menu screen.
