Hello, this is to be expected . You will need to have all cartridges installed and with ink in, even if you only want to print in black, or the printer will detect an error and won't work.

your printer cartridge have to refilled up or clean its head with warm water.

Referring to the description you've mentioned, it seems your printer's carriage is jammed. If it's not physically damaged or something is stuck or broken, you have to clear the jam manually. Turn on the Machine, open the front access door and locate the carriage (the cartridge holder), pull it towards the right while you give it a slight shake to loosen it if there's anything obstructing the movement.

It's also possible that there's a jammed paper at the back, so make sure to check the machine for paper jam. Open the rear access door (the door where you clear paper jam). Here's the tutorial on how to clear paper jams (Click Here). Open the site and click the blue link(s) [with + signs] with the heading of the troubleshooting steps.

You can also refer this (Click Here) on how to troubleshoot "Carriage Jam".

Let me know if you need further help.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.
