Hey there! @flr, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

I understand carriage on your printer is stuck on the right side.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Try few steps recommended below.

Perform a partial reset.


Use the following steps to reset the product.
Press the Power button () to turn on the product.
Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Wait 20 seconds.
Press and hold the # and 3 buttons on the product control panel.
While holding down these buttons, reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
After the product turns on, release both buttons. The product resets to the factory defaults.
Try to print a self-test report. See the steps on how to print a self-test report at the beginning of this document.
If these steps resolved the issue and the test page prints, there is no need to continue troubleshooting. Reconnect the USB cable, and then try to print again.
If the test page prints successfully, but you experience a different issue with your printer, go to HP Product Support Home Page, and then search for another document that relates to the issue you are experiencing.
NOTE:
If the page displays in the wrong region or language, click the Region - Language link in the upper right corner of your browser. Then you can select the correct region and language.

Refer this article to further troubleshoot carriage jam issues.

If the issue still persists after trying out the steps. It is a hardware issue with your printer.
