Deskjet 712C: Ink cartridge got stuck in right side and won't move

I have an old DeskJet 712C that was working fine until today. Strangely, the ink cartridge got stuck in the right side of the printer and won't move. As soon as I turn on the printer, the red light starts blinking. Does anyone know any tricks to get the ink cartridge to move again? Thank you for your help.

Hi,
It may be possible to move the carriage if you turn off the printer. Unplug the printer and open the printer lid.  See if you can move the carriage by hand.  If this is possible move the carriage to the centre.  Check to see that the is nothing blocking the movment of the carriage - e.g. some pieces of paper.
Close the lid and then plug the printer back in. Hopefully this will help.
I did find a You Tube video which shows fixing carriage jams on C4200 printers ( I know that they are not the same as the 712C) but some of the suggestions may be useful if my initial thought above do not help.  the video is at this link:

Again these tips are not specifically for your printer but they may help solve your issue.
I hope that this was helpful.

  • I can't move my files around in my desktop they are all stack on the right side and won't move to the left or anywhere but to the right side

    I don't know what happened but suddently I can't move my files located in my desktop. They will always stay in the right side of the desktop and when I try to move them to the left or somewhere else it won't allow me to.

    try the Finder>View>Show view options
    make changes to grid size, sort by none, icon size
    and see if this makes a difference.  We  can go from there.

  • TS3694 hi i recently updated into ios 7.0.4 now i want to fully restore my ipad to resell but when i restore it it got stuck with apple logo and progress bar with 45% completed as firware file is downloaded using ipad 4 wifi itunes 11.3.8

    hi i rescently updated my ipad 4 in ios 7.0.4 and for resell purpose i want to restore my ipad via itunes but it got stuck at apple logo and progress bar of 45% completed i tried it 50 times but it stuck on that exact point for hours i cant able to restore it and had no errors it just like freezes at one point i also uses dfu mode but got stuck at same problem using windows 7 32 bits itunes 11.3.8 ipad 4 wifi please help

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?

    Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
    repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)

    That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

  • VM got stuck in "stopping" state, and cannot be stopped

    Dear all,
    I am using Oracle VM 3.2.2.
    One of my VM got stuck in "stopping" state, and cannot be stopped.
    How can I troubleshoot this problem...

    Q: Is the VM still running, i.e. can you ssh to the VM?
    Q: Find the server where the VM is running, and restart the ovs-agent, i.e. "service ovs-agent restart". Did this help, or is the agent crashed, any zombies?
    Possible root cause: These type of errors are typically ovs-agent bugs. First update oracle vm manager to the 3.2.4 release, not 3.2.6. Next update the dom0s to 3.2.4, not 3.2.6. You may need to setup a ULN 3.2.4 yum repo to update the dom0s. As you can see in these forms, 3.2.6 is may not ready for prime time, stick with 3.2.4, is stable.

    If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

  • HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

    Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

    I was wondering this too.  Did you ever get an answer?  I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces.  I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat.  When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes.  When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher.  I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side.  If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes.  Hope we get an answer soon.  Im about to return everything its so frustrating.

  • Drag and Drop feature in start menu between right side and left side

    Hello , I think it is a good idea to allow the user to drag items and apps from the left side of start menu and drop them in the right side, and vice versa. Such feature make life easier than clicking right button and choose unpin or pin to start.

    If you want your idea/opinion heard, please use the Feedback app.
    Posting at the forums won't get their attention, I don't think.

    When I log into the iTunes store my screen shows the marker go half way across the loading indicator, the screen shows a blank screen with the heading "accessing  iTunes". If I go to the right side and search the store the "search names" drop down. Then nothing happens. My iTunes store account info is shown on the right side
    I am using a Dell Vostro 3400, with 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 64bit Ultimate OS. ITunes version 10.5? (Latest)
    What I have tried:
    Uninstalled iTunes,
    Removed firewall and protection.
    Re-installed iTunes 64bit (still get the same issue)
    Restarted firewall, added apple.com etc.
    I have created a new user profile to no vail.
    Still the same issue. I can access using my iPod 

    I am having the same problem ever since I upgraded.  Have received four emails from Apple support on the
    issue and nothing has worked.  Unloaded 10.5 and went back to 10.3 which worked fine but it would not allow
    me to sync my Iphone with the ios 5 upgrade.  Went back to 10.5 and sometimes get exactly what you do when
    I try an access the store.  It looks like something is clearly missing.  Have done just about everything I have seen
    on threads but nothing works.  Really need help.
