I get the following message on my printer:
"The print carriage cannot move. Open the ink cartridge access door, clear any paper jam or obstruction, and select OK."
There is no paper ja, or obstruction. Also, I have done hard power cycle and replaced ink cartridges, but the printer is still not working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@Ashkan7, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I understand you are not able to print due to this error. Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - Carriage jam or E3 error
To check for any jams, refer to - Paper Jam Error
If the error persists, let us perform a factory reset on the printer to resolve this issue.
- The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
- I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
