Welcome to HP Community

 

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

 

Without powering ON the Printer you cannot remove the cartridges since the carriage will  not be accessible

Thanks for the response, however, the power is on with an errorcode, so the printer is stuck but powered  on and is it then possible to remove the cartridges by manually move the cartridge holder?

HP Recommended

The errorcode is OX83C0002B, the printer is HP Envy4520

HP Recommended

Please try these steps

 

 

- 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.
 

If needed try moving the carriage slowly and check if it budge

 

Also try updating the printer Firmware from this Link: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/en4520_1941a_win/EN4520_R1941A.exe
