I fixed my E3 error! 
I took the ink cartridges out I flipped them over and there was a foam like sticker that on the bottom of one. It was getting caught while it moved back and forth and it was ripped. I think it was supposed to be removed during set up. Once I removed the sticker I turned the printer back on and the E3 error went away and my printer started printing again! Hope this helps other people out there with this issue.
