Try lubricating the carriage with WD40, put on a towel and rub the carriage, it may be too dry and can't move easily. " carriage stalled " means it started to move but for some reason it stopped.

I have a Dell A920 printer. Carriage stall error

Try this trick. Turn off the printer, reach in and manually move the carriage to the other side of the printer. Then, unplug it, plug er in and try again. If that doesn't work then it's most likely a dead unit.

Stalled printer cartridges

Sounds like an issue with the print carriage. When it's out of alignment and tries to print, it can make awful noises. HP.com has a web page that describes a number of troubleshooting steps when you have print carriage issues:

There's also a related web page having to do with the noise coming from the printer:

Hope this helps. Good luck.

PRINTER CARTRIDGE STALLED

Is there someting stuck in the printer like a pencil or a keychain, something small that would allow paper to pass but also trigger a sensor in the printer as the printer can detect that paper is being passed unevenly.

Question: does it just say that the ink cartridge is stalled or does the cartarige really stall?
