5100 is a carriage travel error, sometimes you need oil on the lower track that carriage rides on, other times the encoder strip behind the carriage has grease or ink and needs cleaning with a damp Q-tip, other times a paper scrap in the path of the carriage stopping it.

Colors print as yellow or green. Hearts that should be red print as yellow. Magenta shows blank on the nozzle test. Several cleanings and one deep cleaning have not solved the problem. The ink cartridges have sufficient ink.
