There is a shiny steel bar inside the printer, and the ink cartridges move up and down this bar to print on the page. If this bar gets gunked up from stray ink or paper dust, then the motor strains to move the print heads back and forth, and you get this error.

Fixing it is simple. Take some kleenex, and with power unplugged, clean the bar very well. Then Spray some WD-40 on a Kleenex, and lubricate the bar by wiping the WD-40 kleenex on the bar.


If this helps, be sure to hit the "thumbs-up" for me!
