I can't change ink cartridge because the carriage will not slide out from its hiding place.  I've already unplugged and done a hard reset.... can't get that carriage to come out so I can replace the cartridge.

@kkadame, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand the print carriage is stuck and you are not able to replace the ink cartridges.

 

Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - Carriage jam or E3 error

Also, make sure there are no paper jams inside the printer. Follow steps from - A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays

 

If the issue persists, I'm afraid this is a hardware failure. Please reach out to HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

 

If the printer is out of warranty, I suggest you upgrade the printer. You may visit Hp Store to check the available printers.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
