Error e 3 with mp150 but no papper jam

Please be advised that if the MP 150 is displaying the letter E followed by number 3, this would indicate a paper jam.However, if it is flashing E, then 3 and then another digit, an error requiring servicing might have occurred.Turn Off the machine and unplug the power cord of the machine from the power supply. After a few minutes, plug the power cord of the machine back in and turn On the machine. If the same error occurs, contact a Canon service representative

yes first u open all cover of your printer carefully.than u clean all sensor of printer,,if there r dust in sensor than its give error msg,

I have had a MP 150 Cannon Printer with a E3 paper jam code..when NO visable paper jam is present ! Your No paper problem may be as a result of similar issue due to a small piece of paper stuck in the roller assembly out of sight. TRY this, Turn printer off wait (10 seconds) or more then turn printer back ON and listen for roller assembly to turn the ROLLERS and then FORCE FEED
a sheet of paper into rollers until it PULLS paper through and SEE if any scrap of paper comes out with the sheet !! If this works you should see that it clears the code. and resets your printer.
Let me know if this works. Phil at [email protected]

GOOD LUCK !

E3 error on the MP150 is a paper jam error. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the paper going into the printer and that the feed mechanism doesn't have anyhting in it. Also run a roller cleaning from the printer software.
