paper light lit, paper in printer, error code 8 won't print

[avarigirll]

the little screen says e8, the power button light is steady, the paper light is solid orange, the info light is blinking orange. It won't print.

Background- I had it set up locally over usb, because i couldn't get it to work wirelessly. (it kept switching to a wsd port, and wouldn't work anymore.) It was working like that for a little while. I cancelled instant ink, but it is supposed to work until 8/14. I am afraid to try setting it up wirelessly again, I almost had a nervous breakdown.

I checked and it said i don't need a firmware update.  i also tried plugging it directly into the wall instead of the surge protector, and unplugged a reset it a couple different ways. nothing worked.

anybody have any ideas?

I finally got it to work.  I found out how to install it on a TCP/IP port, and after some trial and error I got it to work (but not wirelessly, never going there again lol).
