This error message began appearing after it was jamming and I pulled the paper out of the front. I probably should not have done that, but it was so tempting sticking out there. Anyways, I have tried all the same things, rebooting, disconnecting, unplugging, etc. The green light is on on the right, but it refuses to feed paper through on the left next to the red arrow. Maybe it is out of ink.This error message began appearing after it was jamming and I pulled the paper out of the front.

"Error 50c". They do, however, mention a "Cartridge Error" on page 52 of the manual. They claim this means that the printer has detected a short circuit (fuse/resister) in the cartridge. As you may or may not have noticed in the manual, this is what they recommend doing about it:
1) Press Power to turn the printer off.
2) Lift the printer cover/lid (scanner unit) until the scanner support holds it open.
3) Turn the printer on. The ink cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position unless the printer is busy.
4) Remove the color ink cartridge.
5) Lower the printer (scanner unit) until it is completely closed. If the error message displays again, replace the black cartridge with a new black cartridge.
If the error message does not display, repeat steps 1–3 and then go to step 6.
6) Reinstall the color cartridge and remove the black ink cartridge.
7) Lower the printer (scanner unit) until it is completely closed.
If the error message displays again, replace the color cartridge with a new color cartridge. If there is no error message (indicated by flashing lights), repeat steps 1–3 and then reinstall both ink cartridges. 8) Lower the printer (scanner unit) until it is completely closed.
If you get the error message again, while both cartridges are installed, replace both of the cartridges.
Basically, what they want you to determine is,....if the short circuit is with the "black ink" cartridge or the "color ink" cartridge and then replace the cartridge that has the problem.
You may have to buy a new cartrige. Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.

Open the printer cover.From right side there is a plastic rod.It's connect to door sensor.This plastic rod often breaks from top.Look that and if it's broke try to fix it with glue or something else.

Is that an error code "Cartridge Error 50C" ? If so, see below....
Cartridge Error 50C: Your print cartridge has shorted. 1. Power off your All-in-One and unplug it. 2. Plug in your All-in-One again and turn it on. 3. Uninstall and then reinstall your cartridges. 4. If this does not resolve the issue, try the troubleshooting steps for the other cartridge errors below.
Error: Black Cartridge Missing - The black cartridge is not installed. (Install cartridge PN 82) Error: Color Cartridge Missing - The color cartridge is not installed (Install cartridge PN 83)
Cartridge Error: Complete the following instructions: 1. Power off your All-in-One. 2. Use both hands to lift up the scanner unit until the scanner support holds it open. 3. Turn the All-in-One on. The print cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position, unless the All-in-One is busy. 4. Remove the color print cartridge. 5. Lower the scanner unit until it is completely closed. 6. If the error message reappears, replace the black print cartridge with a new print cartridge. If it does not repeat steps 1-3 and then go to step 7. 7. Reinstall the color cartridge and remove the black print cartridge. 8. Lower the scanner unit until it is completely closed. 9. If the error message occurs again, replace the color cartridge. 10. If an error message reappears, repeat steps 1-3 and reinstall both print cartridges. 11. Lower the scanner unit until it is completely closed. 12. If you receive the error message again, replace both cartridges.
I had the same error message 50c and "color Ink low". I knew that I still had Black Ink, and that is what I just needed for the moment, so I removed the color Ink cartridge and it started working. You'll get a message 'print cartridge missing' but just press continue.
Hope this helps,
