    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    I got it repaired at a computer shop that knows its electronics, for about 40 euros including part replacement. Apparently the issue was related to a sensor in the printhead itself, even though I didn't ask exactly which one. Working perfectly!

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Yeah, I've gone back and forth trying every suggestion and in my opinion I think the printhead is never actually loose. As for the the ink tanks, those all seem to be seated properly, at least they feel similar when being pushed in. I guess I have to take it in for repair, as it's probably...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Thanks for all of your help, but so far I haven't been able to unlock it. The thing with that video is that the guy says to cut power "while printing" and that makes sense, as the printhead will be loose in the middle. In my case, the printhead never leaves the right side (even though I can't...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. It could be the case, though. I have tried literally well over 50 times to power off the printer at different times, before, during or after the printhead moves in any direction, and it never unlocked :/ Thanks for the suggestion, but the error message...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    One additional thing I tried was feeding the page through the back of the printer, with the duplex door open (i.e. skipping the initial drawer feed). In this scenario the sheet would still just move a bit every time I powered on the printer, but there were no creases and the sheet eventually...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Actually, a correction on the "jumpstart" method I mentioned: the paper does move out into the output tray just a bit (about a cm or something), but if I power the printer again, it won't move from there - However, the back of the printer is trying to push the paper forward anyway, and it starts...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Thanks for the tip, but I wasn't able to make the printhead unlock itself by using that method. I tried at various instances in time, from straight after powering on to when the noises/clunking appear to have some kind of variations... In any case, I was reading your suggestion on the paper...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Hehe, thanks for trusting, but that’s exactly what I can’t figure out how to do: how to move the printhead into the center in order to move freely and remove the ink cartridges... Do have an idea on how I can do this manually? Thanks

    Here's one of those videos, for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mysHiP3-PHg I'm really out of ideas on how to make this error disappear :/

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    It's actually the same behaviour with the ink panel open or closed (i.e. if I open it after the error pops up, it will be like that, and by the noise it makes it does seem to do pretty much the same. Yeah, I found that information as well, but I found some videos of guys explaining how to...

    Canon MAXIFY MB5050 doesn't finish start up process

    Hi, I got this printer from someone that hadn't used for quite some time and even when first connected it was barely used (some kind of unwanted gift). After turning it on for the first time, I got the language selection menu and maybe one or two other options after, but it then went to an...
