try this solution..from fixmyprinter.com
This particular error had stumped me for a while, but I finally found
the cause. As others had pointed out before, it can have alot to do
with some obstruction in the print path, the gears, or ink on the clear
plastic encoder strip. You're on the right track - I found the the
purge cap (the white sliding mechanism that the print head parks to
when it's not in use) was not lubricated well enough from factory. If
you lubricate the sliders with some white grease (don't get it on the
small wipers or the black caps) the mechanism can now slide more
freely, and the unit can park the head properly without giving you the
dreaded head homing error 5100 (or E-2-2 on the LCD display) Keep in
mind that this repair will probably require you to remove the right
panel off of the printer to gain access to the purge mechanism. There
are two screws behind the printer, and two in front for each
corrosponding side panel (the front screws are behind the grey front
panel of the printer - open the top cover to see the clips which hold
the front cover on) Hope this helps some of you out.

Had to move the printer cartridge and shut down three times, but it finally kicked in and started working again. Don't give up just trying it once.

Carriage error. Paper or the print mechanism is blocked.
It
could mean the rollers don't grip the paper, there is torn paper
keeping the rollers from turning, the paper can't stick to the rollers
etc.,
