I have vague recollections of having a similar problem in the dim and distant past with a printer whose ink cartridges travel across the page as it prints. If I remember correctly, I resorted to brute-force-and-ignorance by physically holding the cartridges in an accessible position while I cut the power. Not an ideal solution, but my recollection is that it worked!
