    Error msg's 5100 &B203 from my TR8520

    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.

    Refill megatanks

    All inkjet printers can suffer from dried nozzles. To avoid this you need to print a full sheet ( test sheet) at least once every week or two to keep keep nozzles clear. Find a printer that has the features you desire and then check for availability of compatible carts for better price.
