Hi @Monet4 ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand the E3 error on your HP DeskJet 4155e All-in-One Printer, along with the blinking orange lights, usually indicates a carriage jam or paper jam. Since you're seeing both an ink jam and paper jam error, here are some steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
 

1. Clear Any Paper Jams

  • Turn off the printer and disconnect it from the power source.
  • Open the paper tray and remove any visible jammed paper.
  • Look for any pieces of torn paper stuck inside, particularly in areas like the input and output rollers.
  • Open the ink cartridge access door and inspect inside the printer to ensure no paper is stuck around the ink carriage.

2. Check the Ink Carriage

  • Open the ink cartridge access door and look for any obstruction to the ink carriage (the area where the ink cartridges are installed).
  • Manually move the ink carriage to the left and right to check if it's stuck.
  • Ensure no small pieces of paper or objects are obstructing the carriage.

3. Remove and Reinstall Ink Cartridges

  • Remove both ink cartridges carefully.
  • Inspect them for any debris or packaging materials that might still be attached.
  • Reinstall the cartridges properly, ensuring they click into place.

4. Reset the Printer

  • After checking for jams and reinstalling the cartridges, turn off the printer.
  • Unplug the printer for at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug it back in, turn it on, and check if the error persists.

5. Check the Paper Feed

  • Ensure that the paper loaded in the tray is properly aligned.
  • Do not overfill the paper tray, and ensure that the paper used is within the printer's supported sizes.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
