What may have happened is that the Paper sensor is locked down and tells the printer that there is paper in the path (although there isn't any). The paper sensor is a toggle switch and there is a paddle that pushes it down as the paper goes in/out. Look on the right side of the unit ,under the roller assembly. Sorry, but I do not have a service manual for this unit.
Error list :
E2-2 = No paper (ASF)
E3-3 = Paper jam
E4 = No ink
E5-5 = The ink cartridges are not installed or a non-supported ink cartridge is installed, or the ink cartridges are not installed properly

Looks like I may have a leaf in the paper path! Some time soon I must try to work out how to remove it. Thanks for your help, at least I now know where to look!
I have the same problem - E3 error and no paper stuck. I used a small screwdriver to push down the toggle & other parts where the paper feed rollers are but no luck. I took the screws off the back but couldn't figure out how to take the back panel off to get to the roller assembly. It appears that both sides come off but I stopped for fear I would have the printer in pieces and couln't put it back together!
