I was so happy to find out about this upgrade!!! Finally! Not only an upgrade to 3D printing, but printing food too!? So far, I have only printed ham, but I am looking forward to printing bacon and sausage tonight too!!!

Thank you, Canon!!! Best driver update ever!!!

Usually an error 5100 code is saying that the ink carriage has problems. Usually something currently is or recently hammed the cartridge carriage. With the machine turned off and the power cord unplugged, open the machine and inspect the inside do you see any stray pieces of paper along the paper's usually route?

There is a way to reset the machine to clear out the error. I would need to know the exact model of your Canon.

I have an MX532 printer with Support Code 5100. What can be done to clear it.

There is a 1/8" wide Mylar belt that moves the ink cartridges back and forth. I found that mine had a few clumps of ink on it. The belt is evident by open8ng up the front of the printer as one would to clear a paper jam. Used a kleenex to carefully wipe the belt clear, then powering back up the printer resulted in clearing the code and putting the printer back into normal operation. Yea! No cost other than a Kleenex.
