Carts keep getting stuck

I have a new Hp 4215 all in one it has worked fine until recently. It flashes error. I have to go in move the cartlidges over to the starting position and cut the print off then back on to get it to print. After I do that it is alright for a while then a few hours later it is flashing error again and the carts are hung again.

    Same problem. I've tried removal and reinstall of cartridges several times as well as resetting. All to no avail. This was my second 4215 (first replaced under warranty). Both worked OK for a period of time, but, now this one as bad as the first. Last time I called H P for technical assistance was told to take a hike (specifically, throw it away and buy another one.) Thats what I'm doing, but, what ever happened to reliability ? Quality ?

    I have the  HP Photosmart C3180 all in-one. The scanner will not accept new ink cartridges. They snap in, but will not remain in a fixed position. What is the problem.

    Model 4215 - error message is: remove left cartridge and inspect.
    It will not print. Has been good to now.

I need Help fixing my HP Officejet 4215 All in One it keeps saying Cartridge Error and wont let me print anything.

Try reinstalling the printer drivers and software and plug connecting to the pc too
If problem still persist
There may be a problem in the cartridges holder
Then you have to connect with the customer care of the printer.
Or have to buy new printer easily and cheap at ebay

4215 cartridge error

Hi there ok Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.

And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

HP 4215 all in one printer. Cartridge error

Hello Barry
It is odd that the machine is not telling you which one.Mine usually does.Okay
the best way and cheapest way for you to figure out which one it is, the unit takes a HP 56 and HP 57,which are very common carts,used in the HPs today,If you can get your hands on two
different carts and exchange them around you will be able to find out which one it is.They do not necc. have to be full ones.Once you find out which one it is get a new one.I would be willing
to take a guess it is your black one

Cartridge cradle can't move, says paper is empty when it's not

OK....try removing the carts, close the printer, turn off, then disconnect...alot of the problems with the newer HP printers has to do with their ROM memory....if that doesn't work, then there is defintely something in the paper path, no matter how small. Try to eliminate the copy function....does the error happen as soon as the printer is finished powering up??

Try this:
Pick a handheld, press Menu - H/set settings - Reg Handset - Select Base 1, enter 0000 as password. Now on the bottom of the base station press and hold the Register button in for about 10 seconds or until the h/set beeps.

No cartridge found error

One or more ink carts aredodgy, fit gen new brother inks (x4)

On inks carts there is a flag inside them that normally floats, when it sits down due to ink level being low it blocks a photocell to stop machine from working, it needs to do this to stop any air getting in ink lines, so inks may appear to have ink in them but will not work, on some refill/aftermarket carts flag gets stuck
