This particular error had stumped me for a while, but I finally found
the cause. As others had pointed out before, it can have alot to do
with some obstruction in the print path, the gears, or ink on the clear
plastic encoder strip. You're on the right track - I found the the
purge cap (the white sliding mechanism that the print head parks to
when it's not in use) was not lubricated well enough from factory. If
you lubricate the sliders with some white grease (don't get it on the
small wipers or the black caps) the mechanism can now slide more
freely, and the unit can park the head properly without giving you the
dreaded head homing error 5100 (or E-2-2 on the LCD display) Keep in
mind that this repair will probably require you to remove the right
panel off of the printer to gain access to the purge mechanism. There
are two screws behind the printer, and two in front for each
corrosponding side panel (the front screws are behind the grey front
panel of the printer - open the top cover to see the clips which hold
the front cover on) Hope this helps some of you out.

Error 5100 is Carriage error.Possible problems in:

First, make sure there is no paper jam anywhere in the machine.. look inside, rear, where the paper tray (output) is, etc to see if you find any shreds or torn paper that may have gotten stuck and you didn't see.Look carefully in the zone of Purge unit, using flashlight in the right side on printer.If this not help your printer need service.

Hi Whitey621
Error code 5100 Try
Solution 1:
Look inside for a tiny object like a piece of paper, a staple...
Solution 2:
There is a thin plastic strip running across the width in front of and below the drive belt: there are fine black vertical lines on this strip. If the strip gets a piece of crud on it, you get an error during the start-up sequence.
Gently clean this strip with a damp lint-free tissue
