8710. Instant Ink. I just replaced 2 instant ink cartridges last week. They were sent to me over 3 years ago. I don't know if that's a problem. Since putting those new Instant Ink cartridges in, I've printed maybe 10 pages. That maybe unrelated to my problem. This week I now get error that says "cartridge cannot move. Clear obstructions." I have looked, can't find any obstructions. I have turned the power off, but it will not turn off, just goes into power down mode, but goes no further. I've unplugged power cord, waited 5 minutes, and when plugged back in it powers up, then goes into startup check mode and says "cartridge cannot move". Instructions on line say to clear obstructions, done. Next to pull the power cord which I've done. Then it says to pull out the ink cartridges, well I can't do that if the cartridge won't move over to the middle so I can pop the ink cartridges out. I've tried moving it manually but it doesn't want to budge. I don't know if there is a release button or something, and I don't want to force it, but it won't go over very easily. What else can I do. Thanks.
