Unplug the printer and open the cover of the printer.  See if you can move the carriage by hand.  If possible, move the carriage to the Center.  Check that nothing of blocking the abnormal movements of transport - for example the pieces of paper.

    Close the cover and then plug the printer back. I hope this will help.

    I found a YouTube video that shows fixing carriage jam on printers C4200 (I know that they are not the same as the 712 C), but some of the suggestions will be useful if my initial thought above does not help.  the video is on this link:

  • print job is stuck in the queue and will not erase

    I have a HP 4620.  I sent a print job to the computer via the network.  It will not be printed, so I tried to delete the job.  It is stuck on "deletion" and will not erase (it has been like this for days).  I tried the other options such as restart, pause etc. and it is just stuck say delete.  I restarted the computer and activated and on the printer, but can not do the work to remove.  So just now I can't print anything because new jobs will not be printed either; guess that they don't print until that first job is deleted.  Can I remove the new print jobs.  Someone at - it solution.

    Hello

    From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer gets stuck "downloading" and will not move forward

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.1, using as Safari and Chrome browsers. I've recently upgraded to Yosemite since then, received error messages that I don't have Flash installed. When I download the installer, it gets stuck and will not exceed 30% of "" downloaded. I left for hours, and it's still at 30 when I get back. Is there a permissions issue that I could play with to allow him to continue the installation? Suggestions for what to try to get this installed?

    I was able to download the installation program itself, but the problem is after I double-click on "Install Adobe Flash Player." See screenshot below.

  • The time on my Ipod will not change when its coastline, Wifi disconnects randomly, screen goes green and red and restart full iPod.

    OK so this problem started about two days ago. I noticed that my time was off so I went to settings > General > Date and time. I changed the hour correctly but when I locked it and got out of her for a few minutes, it was always the same when I changed it. For example: this morning, back at the exact time that was at 10:41 20 minutes later, I changed my time and it was still stuck at 10:41 time will work properly if I am constantly on my IPod and do not block. I really need to use the alarm when I wake up every morning! I've tried everything to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Reset my IPod do not even help.

    This issue has also started two days ago. I noticed that the wifi on my IPod touch 5th generation cut off while an application is open, but when I close it then connects back. It is only on my IPod, but not my IPad. It's pretty boring. I also tried to reset my router but it always disconnects.

    The latest happened just yesterday. Again, I've tried my time is correctly set when all of a sudden half top of my screen turns red and turns green half lower. The screen then goes to black and my entire iPod restarts.

    Thank you very much for the help. :-)
