Deskjet F4280 starting make grinding noise, clutching, feeding paper continuously slowly, resume light flashing, no print, whether connected to laptop HP G72 or not. Repeated unplug/plug back in cannot clear issue. Replaced low color cartridge, removed and put back both cartridges. Can turn rollers in back up easily, but rolling down is difficult but will turn.

Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
Please try these steps
- Turn on the printer.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.
- Remove the ink cartridges from the printer.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to a wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
- Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
- Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.
Next ensure the printer has the latest Firmware. Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c02919168
