@sony53, there’s a couple of reasons why you keep getting the error, you may need to clean around the area of the purge unit, I mean give it a good splash of Windex, and clean up using lots of cotton buds and paper towels.

The other alternative is that a spring may have come loose and drop off the purge unit, so it’s either lots of waste ink or the spring, and that’s why the unit is not returning to its original set position..

Thanks for the reply i have cleaned round the purge unit so I will now try to see if a spring has come off
