E2 error in 2676 printer.

[TrappedKid]

Recently, I have been encountering the E2 error. I have tried as much troubleshooting problems as I can, but it won't budge. I might have to admit I have been reckless with my printer recently, and i have also read that recklessness can also cause it.  I'm looking for as much methods as possible until this problem is fixed. Fearing for the worst that I might need to replace the entire thing.

Here are a few facts,

My ink cartridges are almost empty, but it still has some charge.

It's showing signs that the printer itself is dirty, I have done the cleaning but to no avail.

I hope this can be resolved soon, as I need this printer for personal use.
