I would suggest switching everything off, unplugging and starting all over again, it may be that simple.
Plan B :Un-install the driver and reinstall.
Plan C :Check that the MP510 is the default printer via Control Panel/Hardware & Sound/Printers. Click printer icon and then right click or use task bar.
The flashing lights indicate a fault on the printer itself so check for paper jams, ink cartridges in place etc.
SOURCE: error code 5010
Yes, same thing happens to me...Error code 5010...and flashing green and orange...alternating lights.
I was trying to photocopy (in basic black, not colour). I had a few pages to copy. I got this 5010 Error code after EACH copy!
I had to turn off the printer after each copy and then turn it back on for the next copy. That's not the worse of it.....once I turned the printer back on and hit copy again...the printer took a VERY long time to scan the item for the next copy. It took me a good 40 minutes to copy 15 pages.
Sooooo irritating!!!!!
Anyone know what to do?
I've also had the paper jam on me tons of times. I am really disappointed with this product. I would not recommend this printer to anyone!
SOURCE: Canon iP1800 printer,flashing orange light under the green 'on'
First off, How many times does it flash organge before it goes to green?
two: out of paper
three: paper jam
four: Ink has run out
Five: FINE cartridge cannot be found
Seven: FINE Cart. not installed in correct position
Eight: Ink absorber almost full
Count how many times it flashes. Then get back to me

turn the printer off by the socket. hold down the on button and keep held down whilst turning on the socket switch. Then press the button next to the on (i don't know what it is called) , so it goes onto orange then again to get to green. now it should stay on green and print. i hope this i useful

I had the same problem and found a small coin in the back feeder. Remove the back coverplate and tip the machine onto its back and give it a good shake. You might be surprised at what falls out.

This error means that some mechanical parts of your printer is in trouble. This could be some of the causes:
1. The print head is stuck somewhere or is unable to move because of some blockage in the printer's bay.
2. If you are using a Continuous Ink System, then the tubes might have blocked the print heads from moving.
To resolve, turn OFF your printer. Remove such blockage then turn the printer back ON.
