HP Envy Printer 5546.
Message says Cartridge Jam.
I use an Ink Plan from HP ... they won't send any more ink until the problem is solved !!! (catch 22 ? )
The cartridges are NOT jammed .. they wont position them selves to the right hand side.... and it settles anywhere along the runner.
So now what do I do ???
Any ideas anyone ?

Welcome to the HP support community.
Check for obstructions in the carriage path
-
With the printer on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
-
If your printer has a battery, remove the battery.
-
Open the door to access the carriage inside of the printer.
Examples of carriage access doors
-
Look in the carriage path for debris such as crumpled paper or dislodged labels, and then remove any that you find.
Example of a printer with debris in the carriage path
-
If the carriage on your printer has a latch, make sure it is closed.
CAUTION:
Ink tank printers: If the latch is closed, do not press down on it.
-
Use your hand to move the carriage to each side, making sure it moves freely. If the carriage is stalled or docked to one side of the printer and you cannot move it, continue with these steps.
-
Close the carriage access door.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer, and then turn the printer on.
