Artisan 810 keeps saying paper cassette not set correctly or objects blocking cassette path, insert correctly but does not change afterwards, printer is fine otherwise
I was also stuck with this error message for a while. It turned out to be a 4x6 photo paper got stuck in back in a place that was not easily visible. I had to detach the double-sided paper module from the back, tilt the printer on its side and reach in with fingers and pliers to pull it out. The error message was correct, that something was blocking the cassette tray even though you could push the tray all the way in!
SOURCE: paper cassette is not seated
I had this same problem and tried everything (I thought) to fix it. Then I saw the solution at:

Basically there is a plastic pin that tends to break off and stays in the area where the cassette is loaded. It takes up just enough space to keep the cassette from being pushed in all the way. The solution is to turn the printer off, unplug it, then lift up the printer so the broken pin falls out. Once it comes out, the printer will work fine again.

This can also be caused when the upper cassette tray (for small paper stock / photo paper) becomes detached from the lower tray. There is a gear attached to the lower paper tray which handles movement of the upper paper tray. Make sure that moving this gear causes the upper paper tray to move. If it doesn't, then you need to snap the upper paper try on a little better.
