Hi bsmith629,

To try and resolve the U051 error, we can remove and reseat the ink tanks and print head in the printer.  To do this, please follow the steps displayed in the link below:

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 same error, the printer will require servicing.  Please Contact Us to obtain your servicing options.
