Officejet H470 carriage stalled

On screen message says "carriage stalled". Green 'power on' light is flashing, as is the orange/red error light. Both ink cartridge lights are on. When I open the cover the ink cartridges usually move to the center, but not this time. Turned it off and unplugged, then back on several times - nothing. I manually slid the cartridges to the center and then to the other side and back - they did not appear to be stuck- then tried it all again. They still wouldn't move on their own. Getting the flashlight out and slowly moving cartridges to center again I noticed what appears to be something looking like a twist tie laying under where the cartridges slide (on the right side). Upon closer examination I can see one just like it on the left side under what appears to be a gear. How did the one on the right side come undone and where do I put it to make this thing work right, or is this not the problem. There is a small door on the bottom of the printer on the right side, but when I open it I can see the gear but no clue where this 'twist tie' goes. HELP!!!
Thanks

Hi cr180,
1) For the LED blinking, perhaps this link can answer your query on what is it and how to resolve.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01182351&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&ju...
2) For the twist tie you mentioned, on the left side is it brown color, whilst the one on the right is black color (but to the extreme right)?
3) For the bottom cover on the right which you open, it is actually for your to replace the ink service module.
(Look out for this "Issue: The Resume light is on or blinks, the Right Cartridge light blinks, and the Power light is on" on the below mentioned link)

Printer wont print a single page and it displays the error msg,it completely depends on printer's mood when it wants to print,yes it makes some unusual sounds too.I have updated to latest version of SOLUTION CENTRE and have tried cleaning the rollers by opening the rear door of printer.
I have WinXp Sp2 and i think i have performed all the steps available on internet....Please Help!

1. Open Mcafee software, from the Virus and Spyware Protection section click on Schedule and run scans. Click on Real time scanning and then on Turn Off. select till I restart the PC and confirm by clicking the Turn Off button.
2. Open the run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type %windir% and click on OK.
3. Type hpoins*.dat into the top search bar, if there are any results rename the extention into old instead of dat. (e.g. hpoins1.old)
4. Type hpwins*.dat into the top search bar, if there are any results rename the extention into old instead of dat. (e.g. hpwins1.old)
5. Launch the Run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER into the Run dialog and click on OK.
6. Launch the Run dialog by clicking both the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard. Type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER into the Run dialog and click on OK.
7. Run the installation file and check for any difference.

New officejet h470 with wireless card; "printer cartridge incompatible" error message

I just got the officejet h470 mobile printer and wifi card. Had many, many problems when trying to set up wireless operation (windows vista operating system). Installed & uninstalled 5 times. Finally contacted HP tech support and got it to work correctly after approximately 2 hours on the phone. From minute one got blinking light for black ink cartridge when I turn it on or when I try to print. Happens every time. Only way to clear the light and print is to unseat the cartridge completely and re-seat. Prints one document then does the same thing. Today, for the first time, I got the error message "ink cartridge incompatible". This is the ink cartridge that came with the machine.
1. Bad ink cartridge? Does anyone out there have an answer?
2. Is it normal for this printer to continue to cycle(?) for 1-2 minutes when first starting and after printing?
I don't want to go through the hassle of replacing the printer if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Freestyle

For #1 I would suggest cleaning the cartridge contacts as shown here. If that does not resolve the issue you may need to replace the cartridge or the printer (both should be under warranty).
As for cycling before and/or after printing, it will depend on various factors including how long it has been since the last print job. I would not expect more than 5-15 seconds of servicing after a print job.

Hi Jaypo53,
Unfortunately the iPad does not support Bluetooth printing. Only printing via WiFi is supported. Apple have their own proprietary printing protocol called 'AirPrint'.

HP Officejet H470 - Blinking Lights

I have a mobile HP Officejet H470 printer. I have had several issues lately with blinking lights, I find a fix, do it and other lights seem to start blinking then. This time it is the resume light and the right ink cartridge light. it cycles like this..... the resume light is green, then red, then the right ink cartridge blinks, then starts over.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

When the resume and right cartridge lights blink, it means that the ink reservoir is full. You need to replace the reservoir and then reset the printer. You can find instructions in this document.

Carriage Stalled on Photosmart C309a

Message starts with "Paper Jam" on front display of printer. Cannot find any paper where it does not belong. The next message appears on the computer: "Carriage stall. The print cartridge cradle cannot move."
The carriage is stuck on the right side, not accessible because it is parked under a permanent plastic "house." All the troubleshooting tips mention the carriage must move. Yes, but how do I make it move without forcing it and breaking something?
There was a post last month, someone had the same problem and managed to resolve it without explaining how.
The printer worked beautifully UNTIL I received a three-page fax. That carriage parked and never moved again. Have not been able to use the machine since then.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi - Go ahead and try the steps in this document. It sounds like you may have performed a few of the steps, but it also talks about re-installing the printhead assembly and performing a printer reset.
If the steps in this document don't resolve the issue, you'll want to contact support to see if they have any additional suggestions, and if they don't they can also help you get the printer serviced.
Hope that helps.

Carriage Stall

My Hp 6310 printer is working OK but I keep receiving an error message re: carriage jam. I have done everything on the HP support site to correct the problem. I can print a self-test page and finally was able to align the cartridges. In the past the cartridges moved when I lifted the cover; not now. The HP printer utility says "carriage stall" for status. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I don't mean for you to repeat steps you've already been told, but just to make sure all the steps have been followed, here's a video explaining how to fix recurring carriage jams. Have you already tried all these steps?

Carriage stall clear carriage

Hi.
I am getting the error message, 'Carriage stall....clear carriage obstruction and press OK to continue'. So I checked HP support to solve this problem and got as far as, "press menu and print test page'. When I press menu, it does not come up so cannot print test page. I did clear a tiny piece of paper from the carriage.
Hope to get help before I have to get an engineer in.
Dave.

hi,
You don't indicate which product you have, but most of the carriage jam or paper jam support documents from the product support page havve documents about clearing the paper jam or carriage jam.
It is good that you found a "little piece" of paper, sometimes this haunts you forever until you find it. If I remember correctly, most of the printers require a "reset" to get the printer functioning.
To do this, you'd unplug the printer from the power source (wall or back of printer), wait 60 seconds, plug the power back in again (if the printer doesn't power on automatically - turn it on), the printer should go through some setting up activitity. I hope this helps.
If not, go to the Support and Drivers section of hp.com, i
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=top
nput your product number and press the next button. In the search field for your product, search for carriage jam or paper jam... a couple of good documents should show up.
Thanks Captain TJ.
Sorry, should have said, Phtosmart B9180.
I have done all you suggested as per the support pages but no good. I get to the point where I should print a test page but when I press the menu button, there is no response.

'Ink Cartridge Carriage Stalled' - Repeated Error Message

DeskJet 2050 All-In-One J510C. Serial CN07N2B3CF. FPU CH350 or 355, -64001 Having just run HP Print & Scan Doctor!I still keep getting this message.It must be erroneous, because when I click "OK" it rattles and whirrs and then carries on as normal, with a quality print. BTW:- searched Support numerous times with NO RELEVANT results, hence this post. How do I resolve "Ink Cartridge Carriage Stalled" ? (Previously, downloading & updating software chased it away. So I did that yesterday, again!) Please advise your correction to this irritation.Thanx.

NEW info!
computer still says yellow ink is out...print with Black only option and I'm able to print regularly from another computer tied to the same printer.
But just now I attempted to print a picture. The screen said the yellow ink was out and would I like to print using Black only? I clicked Black (just to get something) and the device printed a color picture. Thanks but what's up?
