Hi @murari4,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Check for Any Obstructions:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the cartridge access door.
- Look for any paper jams or foreign objects obstructing the carriage movement.
- If you find any paper or debris, carefully remove it.
Manually Move the Carriage:
- With the printer off, gently try to move the carriage to the left and right to ensure it moves freely.
- Make sure nothing is blocking the carriage's path.
Reinstall Ink Cartridges:
- Remove all ink cartridges.
- Inspect the cartridges for any issues and clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth if necessary.
- Reinstall the ink cartridges securely in their correct positions.
Check Cartridge Latches:
- Ensure the cartridge latches are securely closed.
- Ensure the cartridges are properly seated.
Reset the Printer:
- Close the cartridge access door.
- Plug the printer back into the power source and turn it on.
- Sometimes, a simple reset can clear the error.
Firmware Update:
- Check for any firmware updates for your printer. You can do this through the HP Smart app or the HP support website.
- Updating the firmware may resolve the error.
Perform a Printer Reset:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait for at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and then reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer back on.
