I cleaned the timing strip and checked the carriage, everthing was clean and the carriage moves easily and I still have the 5100 error. So I guess Im going to give up and junk the printer. Thanx for looking into this for me. So Im going to buy a Canon G6020 tomorrow.
I have a TR8520 that I think may have bitten the dust. Im getting error msgs 5100 and B203. Its also telling me to pull the plug and call service. Should I just junk this thing or is there a fix I can apply. FYI- I have been refilling OEM carts using the drip method. Ive been doing this since...
Thanks websnail & I S Fingers for your replies. Right now I'm on the edge of buying a G6020. My TR 8502 has not been a very good printer as I was warned by The Hat when I was going to purchase it. It has now stopped working all together. My 'OLD' inks are only a few months old so I think I'm ok...

It's sounds like your cartridge has an air lock. There are a couple of ways to solve this problem one is after you VERY SLOWLY refill the cartridge leave it's set in an upright position for at least 24 hours. The NEW ink has not settled to the bottom of the cartridge. By letting it sit this...
WOW!!! ALL THIS because I needed a printer. Well I chickened out and bought a Pixma TR8520. Pretty much the same as my old mx922. One reason I got somewhat confused over all those cart. No's. Tr8520 uses280 carts for which there are no generics. So 4 now I will just refill the originals and turn...
