    Just bought One of these and have gone through the installation. But have the error message

    Out-of-Register Colors Correction has not been performed.

    Have tried it now 10 times and it keeps saying the same thing.

    No mention in the manual about what to do.

I solved this problem.
You need to bring your printer to some service, and perform cleanig of the printer's optic instruments, which are most probably coverd with dirt, and printer just can't recognize catridges, and can't give you the best print quality.
Just take it to the people who refill toners, or to some official service, they'll know what to do. I had the same problem as you, and today I can't recognize how better print quality is, and more importan, printer is not asking calibration any more.

Canon LBP-5000 Printer and Calibration - _1701.jpg
I tore my hair out trying to find what was causing this problem. I solved it eventually !!! I noticed that some toner residue was on the electrical contact point on the right hand side of the cartridge (you will see a copper contact point just inside where the drum makes contact with the right hand side panel inside the printer). I took an old toothbrush and brushed out the toner from that small hole on the side of the cartridge and also brushed the point of contact (inside right hand side of printer) that butts up into the cartridge and turns the drum.ie the copper contact sits just inside the drum. VOILA!!! No more errors and the printer kicked into motion - did the calibration and is now working perfectly again. Dave at inkWise!

I had same problem but solved it as follows.
I repeated calibration following the instruction on the error message but it did not work at all.
Instead, I looked at the toner cartridges carefully and found the leakage of toner at the magenta cartridge. I guessed that there was some problems with the magenta cartridge and replaced it with new one.
As a result, it worked very well and I am using the printer until now.

When i try to print its saying out of register colour so how do i solve this problem? and what is calibration?
hi! Ok, for first, let as see which color are misaligned. You should bring up the printer status screen from the LBP-5000 and just type this code: *28* then go to the second menu and choose the "service menu". Then try to find out a menu where you can print out some infos. I think it is the second menu in the "service menu"
You should get printed out on 3pcs of papers all 4 colors separated. Some colors are misaligned. If you have that printing then scan it and send it to me to this mail: adzicc@yahoo.com so I can see what is happening.
If you have an eeprom reader and a little electronic scill it would be nice for the next steps...
I'm waiting for your mail...

Can not perform out of register colors correction
I have a similar printer, canon LBP 5000, with the same problem.

I contacted Canon guys and explained them the problem. This is what they said:
this problem occurs in either of the 2 situations:
1. when your colors/toners have gone or nearing empty.
2. when you have REFILLED your cartridges.

Solution:
Need to replace cartridge (which costs really tooo much).. its sad!

For me it was the first case, but, un-really-fortunately, I REFILLED the cartridges (this is al b4 contacting canon guys). And still the problem persisted (so now even the 2nd case).. After finding out that i will have to replace the cartridges.. i'm really confused whether i should do it,, or buy a new printer instead.! (since i've already spent and wasted quite a lot of amount in refilling the colors :( )

So, please DO NOT refill the cartridges if u god-forbid come across this problem ever. Go replace the cartridges. (unless n until someone else comes up with a solution atlast!)

Thanks,
Krishnan a.k.a krislogy

Canon LBP5000 laser colour printer. Problem: 'Out of Register Colors Correction has not been performed. Perform calibration again'. I have carried out this instruction so many times, the error keeps...
Had the same problem a while ago.
In my case it was simply that the plastic tab had come away from the plastic strip you're supposed to pull out from from the cartridge before installing. Found the end of the plastic strip and pulled it out and this sorted the error.
An additional problem we had was alignment of the colours when printed. Magenta and black were misaligned by about 0.5mm after changing a cartridge. This was cured (after much frustrated cleaning/calibration) by switching the printer power off and on (couple of minutes to cool down).
Hope this helps.
