Hi edburnette,

To try and resolve the U052 error, please remove the ink tanks and print head from the printer, then reseat them. Next, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord from the back and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on. If you still receive the error, the printer may require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The PIXMA MG5320 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them Monday through Friday at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!
