Hello,
I had a paper jam during a print job, I cleared the jam, but now my Cartridge Carriage is Stalled... I cannot see any issues with the paper jamming the carriage, it move smoothly but it keeps telling me the cartridge carriage is stalled. Any body knows how clear the warning. I have unplugged it from power several times with no success
