PIXMA MX922 - carriage stuck

[techscribe]

Hi!  My MX922 showed a B200 error which I was able to clear. I decided to do a nozzle cleaning and when the ink carriage moved to the right, it just stayed there. I can't get it to move at all. I even opened the little trap door on the right corner to nudge it from there, but the carriage is stubbornly stuck...I don't know why. Is there a carriage release, or some trick to getting it to move? Thanks!

I too have same problem with no answer to that question took while unit apart to investigate and move the cartridge carier to the center! cleaned w/ alcohol best I could. Can’t find price of this part in case I have to replace it if necessary, cause I don’t want to go through this again! Sucks no steps exist or shortcuts available! Don’t know if it’s cheaper to replace entire unit! Maybe should have put on Father’s Day gift list!
