Envy 4520 "service stations stalled"

[lyndsayloughins]

Only had this printer a month, worked for about 2 days. Now every time I try to print it says service station stalled on the printer screen. Eventually it will print one job via USB and then its back to service station stalled! Help please!

had this message, found part in printer where cartridges are supposed to seat, look down in there and you see a part that moves toward the back of the machine when you hit the OK button and system cycles through, clean area with alcohol swap and use finger to pull that part all the way to the forward position, hit OK button. this worked for me, machine asked to realign cartridges and I performed that, then printer worked properly again.

 had this problem recently, found that when I pushed the OK button cartridges would cycle and end up just out side of area where they are suppose to sit. Look down in to that area and when it cycles through you will see a part that cycles toward the back of the machine, what I did was clean this area with alcohol swab and reached finger in and pulled that part all the way to its forward most position in the machine, hit OK button and cycled properly, asked the perform cartridge alignment, perform and printer worked properly after that
