Hello! so my printer was saying a 'printer' jam was occurring, upon inspection I could see the printer cartridge cradle was not moving towards the centre of the printer with the lid open, so I suspected it was that what was jammed. There is no paper jammed in the printer.
What I think is either the encoding wire or a flat wire looked to be stuck down the right-hand side of the printer cartridge cradle. So I removed it stupidly and now have no idea to fit it back in and can't locate pictures online.
Does anybody with a HP Tango know how this flat wire is supposed to fit on the right side of the cartridge cradle? it was weaved in and out a couple of parts of the plastic on the side of the cradle.
Manufacturer Warranty is expired. Printer is turned off and I have managed to get the cradle in the middle so I can access it. Help really appreciated if anybody can.
