Deskjet 9880D - Carriage Jam

Hi, I'm unable to clear a carriage jam on my Deskjet 9880D printer.  Power on light and Resume lights flashing.  Printer is clear of any paper jam, have dis and reconnected the printer via the USB.  Completed a full shut down of my PC and reinstalled the driver from the original disc.  HELP!  Anyone any suggestions?

Hi Randy3924 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with removing the ink cartridges again due to a Carriage Jam error message on the printer.
Try the following link that deals with A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP Officejet 4400 (K410), Deskjet Ink Advantage (K209), and D....
If this does not resolve the issue because you are still not able to move the carriage, I suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

  • Deskjet 940C carriage won't move

    I have an deskjet 940C.
    The ribbon cable that attaches to the carriage (thing that holds ink cartridges) has come loose.
    The carriage has moved to far right.
    I can not move the carriage to center to recommect the cable.
    How do I release the carriage so it will move?
    If I can't get printer to work again, how do I at least get the ink cartridges out of the printer?
    The printer makes no sound when power is turned on.
    The three lights on top right flash in sequence

    Hello katy36,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you Officejet 6700 Premium carriage will not move and you're receiving a message stating paper jam. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference.
    Follow this entire HP document on 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays on the Printer Control Panel. This will help to make sure no paper is stuck within the carriage and will provide steps to move over your carriage, depending on how stuck your carriage is.
    Generally when the printer is checking devices, it's going into a maintenance. You can try performing a hard reset on your printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on> Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • DESKJET 5440 "CARRIAGE IS STALLED"

    HELP HIGHLY APPRECIATED - DESKJET 5440, s/n [Personal Information Removed],  an oldie but goody without any problem until now when I receive a computer message saying "THE CARRIAGE IS STALLED". It is stuck on the right when plugged in. Carriage does not move to the left after nudging it with power on. It does go to the left without power.  The wiper shift is in the correct position as pictured in help page.  I have done all of the troubleshooting listed in message like unplugged everything waited and plugged back in directly in the wall. I reinstalled the ink cartridges, there is nothing blocking that I can see. I have looked for hair, fuzz, lint,  etc. and removed extra ink build up, still no resolve. No one in town will even look at this printer because of its age       
    CAN ANYONE SOLVE THIS PUZZLE? I LOVE THIS PRINTER.

    Hello @Curly-Q,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're experiencing a Carriage Jam on your HP Deskjet 5440 Photo Printer. I see that you have completed all of the troubleshooting steps found here on the HP website for this hardware issue. Normally this issue is caused by the wiper shift plate being positioned incorrectly; however, you indicate that the wiper shift is in the correct position. Thank you for including this in your original post.
    I did check into a potential Firmware Programming Update, as this issue can also be caused by a programming issue within your printer. However, due to the age of this product, no such Firmware Updates are available.
    The only step left would be to replace the whole product. I would highly recommend that you contact our Technical Support queue by phone to explore hardware replacement options. Due to the age of your printer you may be able to upgrade this older model Deskjet to the newer version of the printer at a discounted price.
    HP Technical Support can be reached at: 800-474-6836.

  • Deskjet 6980 carriage is stuck

    Carriage is stuck to the left. The "power button light" and the "resume button and light" [ terms per the manual] are blinking. I followed suggestions from another post for a 2110? or similar.  I was able to get it unstuck such that  when I opened the cover the carriage moved to the position to change cartridges.  I removed and replaced both the b&w and color cartriges. Was able to get it to print two separate jobs, 1 page each.  No paper jam, covers seem to be in place,Then the carriage got stuck again and I am back where I started.  With power off/disconnected the carriage won't move. Covers for the cartridges are latched in place.
    Where should I look?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a, Windows 7 64 bit, "carriage jam", no changes

    I have followed all instructions in Video. Still have "carriage jam". There is no carriage jam!

    My HP keeps saying I have a carriage jam.  I have done eveything...looking in every possible place, I have unplugged it, pressed the @ key and plugged it back in. I have followed the troubleshooting guide in the manual, I have followed the troubleshooting guide online, I have even looked at the troubleshooting on YouTube!  I keep getting the message "Carriage Jam" I had an older HP model and it didn't give me this much trouble!!!  I hate the new one.  Any anwers???

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless carriage jam message.

    I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless.  It is on a home wireless network and I am using a new HP laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit).  I am getting a carriage jam message that I cannot get removed.  Leading up to this, my son did have a paper jam and probably didn't get all the paper removed the first time around.  But I have checked thoroughly with a flashlight and there is now no paper anywhere in the carriage.  I have followed the video online and still have the same message and I can tell that the carriage is not moving side to side.  It stays over on the right side.   When the video talks about manually moving the carriage, I can move it very easily manually after I wiggle it a little and move it to the right a little.  Then it will move back and forth easily by hand.  I have tried to see if something is blocking it, but can see nothing.  But then when I try to print a test page, no luck.  I have reset it according to the video with no results.  I cannot print a test page from the touchscreen or from my computer.
    I really like this printer and hope you can help me.

    I hope you are doing well and sorry lt learn that you are having this issue.

    I have a C4240 All-in-One printer and am getting an error message on the display panel "carriage Jam".  I have not given this printer any kind of abuse.  I do leave it turned on but hardly ever print to it.  I have replace the cartridges probably twice since i have owned it.  Can you help me out  as to what I should do with the printer

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

  • C5250 all in one carriage jam

    After removing a paper jam, the carriage jam message appeared. I have done everything in the help section and the carriage moves freely. Is there anything else I can do to clear this?      

    Ciara,
    got the printer back from my neighbor for some photos.  Attached.
    Let me know if this IS fixable or is this just another good printer that will go into
    salvage or trash.  The images are a bit blurry; sorry.  Best I could do.

  • Carriage Jam on C7180 All-In-One

    I had a functioning all-in-one until I tried to clear a paper jam.  After removing most of the paper from the back as instructed I noticed a few bits under one of the rollers and had to use a tweezers to remove it from the front. I am stil getting a "clear carriage jam" message and the printer will not shut down properly. Prior to this the only snafu was that the printer would not always accept the command to print "fast draft" from some internet sites.
    So far, I have tried disonnecting the printer and insepecting it from the back and the front. I cannot see any paper remnants inside. Any ideas on something else I might try?

    Success!
    Following this document was the key. On one of the steps I saw the carriage return move freely left and then dock on the right. I then gently moved it left and voila a crunched up piece of paper became visible. I would NEVER  have been able to find it without moving the carriage return from its docked position on the right.

  • My photosmart C4580 keeps giving me a "carriage jam" mssg when I print from my Dell W7 laptop.

    I have been having a problem for about a week now with a carriage jam issue.  I have a hp photosmart all in one c4580.  Everytime I go to print I get an error mssg, carriage jam.  I do not have a jam.  I signed on to my laptop last night and all of a sudden it started to print, only half a page but it did print.  When I tried to print again to get the full page it gave me the carriage jam error message.  I think it's a false positive message.  I don't have a paper or carriage jam.  The carriage moves freely by hand.  I have done all the things HP has suggested on the site and nothing works.  I had this same problem last year and it fixed itself after a time.  Now it's happening again.  Please help. 

    Hi,
    Try watching this video - 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9x6ZLIYMog
     - and following the steps on your printer to see if you can resolve the issue.  This video should help to resolve false carriage jam error messages.  Make sure you have your printer connected directly to a wall outlet as well to ensure proper power.  The printer in the video is the Photosmart c4280 but the steps will be the same for your printer.
