I have an error message on my Officejet 8500a that says "Open the print-carriage door, clear the jam, and then touch OK to continue." I have tried every troubleshooting step I can find online, watched youtube videos on the issue and nothing seems to work. What do I do now?

 

Thank you!

Hello KrazyToad, 

 

Thank you for your assistance. I have completed all of these steps at least twice (except for Step 5 "Service the Printer) to no avail. The error message persists. What do I do now?
