Hello,
This error is shown when there is any kind of foreign material or packing material stuck inside the printer which restricting the printhead to move freely. To resolve this issue, please follow the instructions mentioned below:
1) Confirm that the printer is powered off.
2) Disconnect the power cord from the printer or at the wall outlet or both.
3) Open the paper output tray and then lift up the scanning unit cover until it locks into position.
CAUTION: The orange protective tape may prevent you from opening the paper output tray. If that is the case, please refer to the illustration in step 3 to ensure the white foam piece is removed along with the protective tape.

4) Pull the orange protective tape (A) and remove the white foam (protective material) (B).

5) If the the white foam was not removed along with the orange protective tape, check for it on the right, inside the printer. a) With the printer powered off and unplugged, slide the print head carriage to the left. b) Looking inside the printer from the left, locate the white foam in front of the purge area. Note: It is recommended to use a thin latex glove as there may be ink mist on the white foam or surrounding print area.
c) Cautiously remove the white foam with your hands. Be careful not to touch any other components in the printer.

6) After removing the packing material, look for and remove any other paper debris or foreign objects from the extreme left and right sides of the carriage area.

7) Close the scanning unit cover.

8) Reconnect the power cord and then power on the printer.

1. Carefully remove the ear pad.
2. There is a shiny plastic cover over the speaker with some foam padding. Gently pry this off - it is sticky.
3. You will now see the speaker holder - it is round and has 4 slots. If you gently rotate it anti clockwise it can be removed, releasing the speaker.
4. Under the speaker is a small round plastic sticker, this protects the back of the speaker from the screw - remove it.
5. You will now see the screw head - cross head screw - tighten it back onto the headpiece and re-assemble all components.

I hunted around. No luck. Then I stopped in an found the perfect fit from of all places Radio Shack. The Earpads come with a smaller pair and you have to buy both but they are an excellent replacement. The Radio Shack replacements are #330-0288 - Replacement Headphone Earpads - $6.99 USD.

I figured that that the earphones were pretty old, so if my 'repair' didn't work I would just replace them with new ones. There is a groove filled with acoustic foam that runs right around each earcup that terminates at the cord's entry point. After removing the headband yoke by carefully popping it out of each earcup I simply gripped both sides of the earcup and applied outward pressure until the front and back halves separated. Fortunately they are held together by plastic clips that snap apart. Once I had located the fault in the cable and repaired it the earcup halves easily snapped back into place. I now have a functioning set of headphones again!
