Hi Hp. I get a message on my HP Officjet Pro 6960 all-in-one printer that is, the cartridge holder cannot be moved, Open the cartridge cover, remove any jammed paper or anything, and select ok. The cartridge holder is stuck opposite the side of the side in the starting position, has done it 4-5 times, there is no paper jammed, is there anyone who can help me with my problem? what can it be and what can i do? Sincerely, Erik

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
This seems like a hardware issue with the printer. Check if the printer carriage is moving freely inside the printer.
Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - 'Carriage Jam' or 'E3' Error Displays and A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays
Update the printer firmware if possible:
