These jams occur when the carriage holding the ink cartridges stalls in the printer. Carriage jams sometimes occur after a paper jam. Our automated Virtual ... ..

The Carriage Jam error message displays on the control panel display. The print carriage, which holds the ink cartridges, stalls against the left side of the printer. A paper jam might have occurred previously.

You need to clean the encoder strip, it's the clear strip that runs across behind the carriage assembly. Use a Q-tip damp with alcohol and don't press too hard. With a light you'll see ink or grease spots that cause the carriage to lose it's place while moving across the page.

HP support has extensive documentation for both paper and carriage jams for your model:

Another thing you could try is cleaning the "carriage bar" with some alcohol.

Carriage system is broken. Uneconomical to repair. Sorry
