While the 5800 error code is fairly generic for Canon printers, it commonly appears in models from the PIXMA series, particularly those with user-replaceable print heads like the MP, MX, MG, and iP series. Printers that see heavy use, frequently use third-party inks, or are older tend to be more susceptible to print head-related issues, including overheating leading to the 5800 error, due to general wear and tear on components.
