HP Smart Tank Plus 655 Wireless All-in-One
Microsoft Windows 11

When I switch on my printer it says I have a carriage jam and the printhead cannot move.

But it does move several times quickly, banging very hard at each end of the carriage rod.

I can move the printheads easily by hand and there are no obstructions at either end.

Also there are no paper jams. I have even checked the bottom 'drop hatch'.

Has had little use but of course it's out of warranty !
