Yes, Error 5100 can often be directly related to the print head or ink cartridges. An improperly installed or faulty ink cartridge, a print head that is not seated correctly, or issues that prevent the print head from moving freely (e.g., residual packing material from a new print head or printer) can all trigger this specific error code.
