If your sheet won't feed through, push on it gently and it probably will.If you can't get it to print at all or you have streaks
1. Go to START / SETTINGS / PRINTERS - roght-click on the 5100, choose Properties/Maintenance and clean the printhead
2. If that doesn't work, it may be because you don't use it often enough and the ink is simply dried. Try soaking it in water for a few minutes.
3. You can remove the printhead, cartridge and all between use. Place in a ziplock bag sealed...so the ink doesn't dry.
