  HP Officejet 4620  error: Carriage Jam. The print Cartridge cannot move....

I keep getting this error message, and the printer does not work.

 

I have watched the support video, and there is not paper stuck or jammed anywhere, or no obstructions I can find. I have unplugged the printer, etc, as suggested. I still can not get the printer to work. The carriage does not move to the left by itself when I open the cover. I heard a a loud rattling noise after printing.. I know the video states if all else  fails it may need service. But I was just wondering if there may be some other simple fix I have overlooked? The white ribbon seems to be intact at both ends. The carriage does not seem to move at all. I pull it to the left, and it remains there upon closing and reopening the cover. I have also removed all cartridges and reinstalled them.
