carriage says its blocked and can't move
04-02-2021 02:32 AM

Hello, my printer stays that the cartridge carrier is blocked by a paper jam, but it is not jammed. Recently it has become very loud when the carriage moves, back and forth. I have factory reset the printer via my home wi-fi and I have downloaded any drivers I could find, I unplugged it for60 seconds, but nothing is working. Does anyone have any advice? I would really appreciate any help someone could throw my way.
Thank you,

@Scoobee1020, Welcome to HP Support Community!
If you have already performed the steps from the document 'Carriage Jam' or 'E3' Error Displays and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.
Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.
Hope this helps!
