I had a jam in the roller and managed to free it. i put the printer back together and turned it back on and now i have an error code 5010. can you help please.
Hello, The error 5010 refers to a scanner issue, make sure all the connectors are seated and all flat cables running to the scanner unit are firmly seated, turn printer back on and the error should clear. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using FixYa. To reset the Printer turn it off and remove the power plug from the outlet. About fifteen minutes later, plug it in again and turn the printer on. If still the issue the printer is facing with persists, then you need to follow these steps as the 5010 error relates to the drivers and you need to download the latest drivers compatible with operating system and model of printer.
Uninstall any previous drivers for the printer and to install the printer, unplug the printer completely, restart your computer. Install the drivers using the file you downloaded from canon, do not attach the printer to the computer, or power on until you are told to do so. You can download the drivers from the following link of Canon---
The 5010 error is a scanner error, the lamp is dead, or the scan assembly is stuck. There are no parts, only whole scanner assembly replacement. You get a one year warranty with Canon, after that it could be a $200.00 repair.
I had this problem with the ink carriage jammed at the left hand side of the printer. I operated the lever in a hole on the top left hand side and eased the carriage along to the middle and pushed it back onto it's runners. All OK now.
