Thespecific steps to reset your Canon printer will depend on the model you have. In general, the process involves a combination of holding and pressing buttons to initiate a reset sequence, but the exact buttons and timing may vary.
Thanks for the 5200 error advice. My problem is : black stopped printing even though the ink was not below the bottom line. Canon printer is G4411 with the built in reservoirs. I carried out the advice you gave and 5200 error went away. I then tried black print and it is blank. Color prints fine. I tried the nozzle cleaning and nozzle check. It does not seem to want to do cleaning, deep cleaning and nozzle check print at all.
I tried copy printing = color is fine but black is not printing at all.
Any advice on how to get head and nozzle cleaning to work ?
You may want to remove those print heads and soak them overnight in a cleaning solution, Ian. This article called How To Clean Your Printer Heads and Ink Cartridges explains the process in greater detail. Also, make sure your Canon G4411 has the latest firmware. Good luck, Ian!
Hello...I have a two year old Canon Pixma G3260 printer that has stopped working. It gets filled with the ink bottles. Its showing an error Code of 5200. A Geek Guy couldn't fix it this morning since he believes it's the printer heads. Has anyone out there had the same problem? It's a new printer.(I don't consider two years to be old.) I'm not in the market for another one. Thanks. I hope you can help. (I had to choose a location, so I went with "Mobile & Compact Printers.") [We moved it to "Desktop Inkjet Printers" where this post will feel right at home!]

My problem is just like Egold48. My printer turned two in May and suddenly a week ago it stopped printing. The rollers spin for several seconds and the paper does not feed. I have done the steps for resetting several times but nothing seems to work. It's hard to believe that the product's quality is so poor that it works for only two years. Anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing your problem and how you resolved it. I haven't done the ink flush yet, but that's my next step when I get the time. However, after keeping the printer off for several days, and after cleaning the heads, it worked for printing black ink documents. Now, I keep the printer turned off until I am ready to use it again. Hopefully, after I flush the ink, I won't have to treat it so sensitively.
I've been running into an issue that started when I tried to print some notes with colored text. Whenever I'd print, the black ink would be fine but the color ink appears faded. Initially thought it was an issue where the colored ink is low, but I checked the levels and they're fine.
Naturally, I did attempt the basic maintenance checks including 'Cleaning', but upon trying anything beyond that (i.e. 'Deep cleaning', 'ink flush'), 'Error Code 5200' would display. I checked the forums here for similar issues and followed the advice of running an Ink Flush (normal and deep clean) and Deep Cleaning, but since I get the error code during those maintenance runs, I'm a bit at my wits end. Are there any other things I can try to do to resolve this issue?

The 5200 code is a general hardware error. I recommend performing a reset of the printer. While the printer is on, unplug the power cord from the printer and let it sit for 60 seconds. While the power is off, press the power button 5 times. After 60 seconds plug the power cord back in and power on the printer.

I have an M3000 that I just updated the drivers for; I loaded the new windows 11 drivers. Once the drivers were updated I Tried to do a deep clean on the print heads and after a few seconds, I get the 5200 support error. I tried the steps listed above to restart the printer but to no avail. Any ideas? The printer is a bit over a year old but I have only gone through half a tank of ink with it.
The printer allowed me to print a test page but when I tried to do a deep clean I got error 5200 again. So, I did the restart again and it allowed me to print a document I was working on and allowed a system clean. it may just be an issue with deep clean
I have had a G6020 printer for over a year and it has been working well. A few days ago, printing a multipage color document, I noticed that there was some banding on later pages. So, a nozzle check showed some issues with the yellow. Ran a cleaning, no change, so I ran a deep cleaning. The blue and yellow disappeared. Ran it again and got the errpr 5200. Nothing I have tried will return my colors back and any ink operations will again give the 5200 error. All colors are full.I have tried an ink flush, with no positive results. Suggestions?
Problem resolved. I reran the Ink Flush, this time telling it to just address the color. It is now working correctly. It is odd, in that I have run it twice before, but each time I said all colors. But it is working, which is the important point. So I consider this matter closed.
I have a PIXMA G6020 Megatank printer. The printer doesnot print M and Y color since yesterday and I tried Cleaning, Deep cleaning and nozzle check nothing helps me. Then it suddenly shows Error 5200 and i troubleshooted as per canon troubleshoot guidlines, error gone but still its not printing those two colors and its combinations.I have enough inks in all C,M,Y and B of more than half tank each. My warranty expires on 7/17/2023. Can anyone help me why its not printing M and Y.?
My printer is about 18 months old. Gets light use (the counter says about 900 sheets have been run through it). It was working perfectly fine until today. I rarely print in color, but when I tried today, it was very faint and the colors were off. I figured I'd deal with that later. Then I tried to print something in grayscale and the printer stopped and I got the 5200 code.
I unplugged the machine for about 15 minutes then plugged it back in. None of the buttons on the machine itself work, so I can't perform a cleaning for flush using the keys on the machine. I signed in to the remote UI and tried to use that. First I updated the software, no problem with that. Then I tried to perform a cleaning, the machine immediately returned to the code 5200.
Any suggestions for what I can do? Am I right to suspect that perhaps the jets on my color tanks have dried out from a lack of use? If so, is there anything I can do? Or will I have to take this somewhere to be repaired?
