This topic may be beyond the capability of most people that use this forum but hopefully if we get some answers, it will help everyone. I work on all kinds of printers and especially on Canon printers. I've had the canon pixma error 5011 opportunity to replace many of the detailed parts on many printers and this includes the purge unit. On one i560 a spring came out of the purge unit and had fallen in the bottom of the printer. The result was the purge unit would not cycle and that led to error messages and a very clogged print head. Upon disassembly I found the spring and was very lucky to take the purge unit off of the main Carriage and disassembly the purge unit to put back the spring. The problem is, once you take the right two screws out of the purge unit the right side falls off and the gears that drive the purge cycle dis-engage.

However, http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/posts/49682 this unit has slipped the gears and is totally out of position and locked or jamed. As a result the purge unit thinks it is cycleing but doesn't really move. The Suction pads for the printhead never come up to mate with the printhead soooooo, it can never prime the printhead and therefore no ink or no colors. Many people have seen a similar symptom,... ie. no ink on the paper. This is always a printhead that did not get primed,... which is always the fault of either the purge unit or the the ink carts ( or a clogged printhead).What I am looking for is any kind of diagram that would show the correct way to re-assemble the purge unit gears. Everything has to be in the exact right place when the right side it put back on. The Canon Service Manual and parts Catalog do not go down to the level of disassembly of the purge unit. It is a replaceable item by part number so the service people probably never mess with it and just order a new one. There is nothing broken in this unit,... it is just slipped out of track. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions,... please reply. If your only going to tell me to get a new purge unit,....don't bother.Now here is some

I am Andy and I will be glad to help you out with your issue today.This is basically a hardware error related to Purge Unit. If printer is in warranty get it replaced by Canon. If not please read ahead. 1. Please open the printer cover and when the carriage head moves to center pull out the power cord.2. The Purge unit is on canon pixma error the right side. Use a flashlight and you will see two ink pads. This is where the print-head is PARKED and is the top of the Purge unit. 3. There you will find wiper blades that move from the rear to the front. They wipe the bottom of the print-head when it is parked. (The ink pads actually drop down about 3/4" to allow the wiper blade to pass and then it is supposed to spring back to the rear. Also the ink suction for cleaning the print-head is done by the purge unit.)4. Use some rubber gloves and a paper towel and see if you can press the ink pads down just a little bit - about 1/4". See if for some reason the wiper blade is stuck extended, if so see if you can get it unstuck. Please do this gently such that you don't break anything there. This error indicates that the purge unit is not giving the correct timing signal as it rotates inside 360 degrees. Therefore, something is either broken or jammed inside. If you had a paper jam and tried to forcefully pull it out, you could have pulled the internal gears out of alignment. So you will need to do some maneouvers to try to release the cartridge from its parking position. Again, don't try hard. Now, if this does not work than it would be cheaper to buy a new printer rather than sending it to Canon for repair if its not in warranty.ThanksAndy Ask
