Solution 1:

• Switch the printer OFF
• Press buttons 1 + 2 + 3 and 4 (simultaneously using four fingers)
• Keep pressing this four buttons for 10 seconds
• Release the On/Off button (number 4) (Keeping pressing the others)
• After a few seconds (when the printer go ON), release buttons 1, 2, 3

Solution 2 (Thanks to Dick):

• I discovered that the head was blocked from moving all the way to the right by a white nylon lever and discovered that there was a thin, small pad that had come loose and was blocking the mechanism to activate the head motion. 
• One pad was about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and a second was a narrow 3/32 x 1/2 inch pad both about 1/16 thick. 
• I removed these pads and the printer returned to normal. 

Solution 3 (thanks to anonym):

• Cleaning two small sponges on the right in the printer with paper tissue. (The head sits over them when not in work). 
• And pushed them a bit down

Solution 4 (Thanks to Printer Mayhem):

• If the printhead is stuck on the right side.
• Cut a flat stiff piece of plastic from a fruit container, about inch wide by four inches long.
• Slid it under the print head and moved it forward and then to the back a few times. 
• Restart the printer.

Solution 5 (Thanks to Krilf):

• Switch on the printer
• Open the cover
• Move ahead and back a 2cm x 2cm white item: black rubber item before that white item needs to press down with something like a pencil and this white thing can move.
• Press the black item down as many times the inks let you do this (do not press to hard)
