I did a partial reset, from the printer's hidden menu, but I cannot complete the configuration because a cartridge error appears on the display, which does not allow me to continue to configure the printer and restart it.
Because of this, the carriage with the cartridges does not move and remains fixed to the right, so I cannot even remove the cartridges.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hi @markoevolution,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
It looks like a carriage jam.
Perform the following tasks in the order given. Use the printer after each task to see if the issue is resolved.
Check for obstructions in the carriage path
Remove any loose paper or obstructions that might be blocking the carriage path.
If the Cancel button on the control panel is lit, press it and wait until the printer is silent.
Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord.
Open the cartridge access door to get to the carriage inside the printer.
EXAMPLES OF A CARTRIDGE ACCESS DOOR
Make sure the carriage is not obstructed by gently sliding the carriage side to side.
Look for and remove any obstructions in the carriage path, such as crumpled paper or dislodged labels.
CAUTION:
Do not tilt an ink tank printer when attempting to remove obstructions as ink might spill.
EXAMPLE OF A PRINTER WITH AN OBSTRUCTION IN THE CARRIAGE PATH
If the carriage has a latch, gently press it down to make sure it is locked into place.
CAUTION:
If the carriage latch of an ink tank printer is secured, do not press down on it to avoid printer damage.
EXAMPLES OF THE CARRIAGE LATCH
If the carriage is not locked in place, move it to each side, removing any obstructions blocking its path.
CAUTION:
Do not force the carriage to move if it is locked or stuck. This can damage the printer.
Close the printer door.
Reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the printer.
Click here for the remaining steps.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Bye,
thank you for your reply.
My problem, however, is that the printer is not configured. The error that comes up on the display means that I cannot continue the installation after the partial reset. This results in the cartridge carriage being stuck to the right, and pushing it manually does not move it. Is there any way to unlock it? I am convinced that by removing the cartridges (which I remind you are original), the error on the display would no longer appear and I could complete the configuration.

Bye,
the fact is that you keep giving me standard solutions, but my problem is different. I have no paper jam, the cartridge carriage does not move, as I have not completed the installation of the printer firmware, after the partial reset.
This is because I get a cartridge error on the display, which causes me to fail to complete the installation.
