How would you clear the code E-3 from a Canon Pixma MP190 printer?

Had a paper jam and cleared it now I've ended up with a code E-3 and can't use it until I clear the E-3. Finding out it may be a common thing with this machine, and loosing my confidence with Canon.

Update:

It is not connected to my cpu, I just use it as a printer.

Update 2:

Trying everything thats been suggested to me, but so far the code is still there.

Update 3:

I have the book so I don't need whats in it for suggestions.

    Try this first:

    --------------------------------------

    E-3

    Cause: If the Paper Output Tray is closed or not opened fully, open it fully. The machine resumes printing.

    Solution: If opening the Paper Output Tray fully does not resolve the problem, the paper may be jammed. Remove the jammed paper, reload paper properly in the machine, and then press the Black or Color button.

    --------------------------------------

    If it is still having a problem follow these steps to reset the device.

    --------------------------------------

    Issue: ERROR LED: E, 3

    Solution: Press ON/OFF switch to reset the multifunction device

    Reset the device when it is not functioning properly.

    If the device is not functioning properly or to clear memory, reset it.

    1. On the operator panel, press and hold the <ON/OFF> button for one second. (The display will go blank.)

    Note: It may be necessary to unplug the power cord if pressing the ON/OFF button does not shut off the printer.

    2. Wait approximately ten seconds and then press the <ON/OFF> button again.

    3. Wait until the device has completed its cycling process before submitting another job request.

    --------------------------------------

    If it still is not fixed after that your printer will have to be serviced.
