HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Printer

My printer is displaying a printer jam and there is no paper jam and the ink cartridges seem to be stuck on the right side.  I followed the video advise to manually move the print cartridges from the right side to the left, but it will not move.  How do I move the printer cartridges to the right side?

I see that you are facing printer issue.

 

Kindly refer to the steps below and let me know if that fixes the issue.

 

Please perform the below steps and let me know

1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer/ mobile devices. 

2) Wait for 60 seconds. 

3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize. 

4) Take out the cartridges. 

5) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall. 

6) Wait for 30 seconds. 

7) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector. 

😎 Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
