SOURCE: How can i resolve my carriage jam issue for HP

Open the cartridge access door, see where is the cartridge dock .. if its not stationed on the right hand side then try to move it with your hands back n forth

Close the door and it should work.

Lets assume it did not

The unplug the power cord from the back of the printer while its on.

Press and hold OK and CANCEL button at the same time

While holding them plug in the power cord, it should turn on and then release the buttons.

It should work

By the way also chek if there is any paper which is obstructing the carriage in moving freely
