@eajjw99, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are not able to use the printer due to this error. An E3 error indicates a carriage jam.

Clear the carriage path of any jammed paper, or reset the printer if the carriage has no jammed paper. For detailed troubleshooting, go to 'Carriage Jam' or 'E3' Error Displays.

Also, check for any paper jams inside the printer - E4 (Paper Jam) Error

 

If the error persists, I'm afraid this could be a hardware failure. Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options for your printer. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
