    Orange light flashes 5 times.
    Printer does not print. I am told this indicates a print head error, but how do I react. Can I clean the print head, and if so, how should I do it?

Hi
IO have one of these printers as my daily workhorse. Thankfully I haven't had the problem you are having.
Did you remove the print-head from the printer and clean it with running warm water?
When I get a possible print-head problem I always do that, rinse it until the water runs clean. Then dry it on kitchen roll making sure that the contact on the back are completely dry before refitting it to the printer. Generally this has cleared any problems (I have several Canon printers - I'm not just referring to the 5200 now).
However If you still get the error it may be worth contacting your nearest Canon service centre. New print-heads are not exactly cheap but these printers are so good it's worth keeping it going. They will probably be able to diagnose the problem quickly and accurately and tell you if it is cost-effective to repair. I don't know what would be involved with the Eprom error. - probably a circuit board change inside the printer.

    Why flash by 5 times the orange led?
    Probably your waste ink counter should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once.
    1. Start with printer OFF
    2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER
    3. Release RESUME
    4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER
    5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving.
    6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER

    0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960)
    1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print
    2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise
    3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter.

    This also applies to the i550, i560, i950, i960

    Good Luck, I hope this helps?!
