Hi @Dutydruid,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the ink carriage in your HP Envy 6400e series printer isn't moving to the middle to replace ink cartridges, there could be a few reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try.

• Power Cycle the Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. Sometimes, a simple power cycle can resolve issues with the printer's mechanism.
• Check for Obstructions: Make sure there are no obstructions blocking the ink carriage's movement. Look inside the printer for any debris or paper jams that could be preventing the carriage from moving freely.
• Manually Move the Carriage: Some printers allow you to manually move the ink carriage. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions on how to do this safely. If you can manually move the carriage, try moving it to the middle position and see if it aligns properly.
• Reset the Printer: Try resetting the printer to its default settings. This can often resolve software-related issues that may be causing the ink carriage not to move correctly.
• Update Printer Firmware: Ensure that your printer's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, HP releases firmware updates to address issues and improve functionality.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and hopefully resolve the issue with your HP Envy 6400e series printer's ink carriage not moving to the middle to replace ink cartridges.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
