HP 170 color copier problem




By 5silvers on Jun 07, 2008

" "
After I turn on the copier and it begins initializing, I get the message "cartridge carriage blocked. Close latches over print cartridges. Turn off and then on." The machine makes the sound like it needs to be oiled and the cartridges are on the far left and don't come to middle when I open up the machine. Any ideas?

Hi there,

Did you experience paper jam before.. Could ba a mechanical error on the gear on the printer that causing now the cartridge carrier to jam...

It is better to call HP if its under warranty, or you can send it for repair..

try manually moving the cartridges over by hand and see if anything is holding them back. If it sounds like the rod they are riding on needs to be lubricated, then you can buy some lubricant from a store that sells printers or usually online and apply it to the rod. I believe the lubricant will fix this error especially if it seems the cartridges just aren't moving well because of the rod roughness.

- white lithium grease or silicon grease should work well, and would probably actually be cheaper at a hardware store, just remember that you don't need too much on the rod and clean off the rod before using the grease
