How do i clear a door open error on my c3180

I had a paper jam and when i removed the paper I have a door open error on my computer

Probably there still some pieces of the paper in there, or the "door" (you might opened it to clear the paper jam) was not closed properly. You get this message, because the sensor is still in open mode.

1200 all in one wont print due to door open error message wont clear

how do i clear an error message when there is no error

Hi @1handcrafter,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are getting the Door Open error with your HP Photosmart c7180, and I am happy to help you!
I am glad that you are able to do a test page on the printer itself, so we know it isn't something hardware related. What I would recommend is to try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens! Then we will go from there.
Hope this works, and have a good day!

How do I correct "door open" error in printer status when no doors are open? Printer will not print

I have a K5400 printer and it won't print because of a "door open" error. I have manually tried the switches and it makes no difference.

Michael,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I have downloaded the INSTALLER CLEAN UP UTILITY and read the readme file which states (among other things) the following
which worries me a little:
"A dialog box will be displayed that contains a message, a list of installed products, and four buttons.
The message that is displayed is as follows:
   Continuing further will make permanent changes to your system. You may
   need to reinstall some or all applications on your system that used the
   Windows Installer technology to be installed. If you do not want to
   proceed, please press the 'Exit' button now. Choosing 'Remove' will
   make the permanent changes."
I have 73 other programs that used the installer including the problem program in question..Adobe Reader 9.2 [9.2.0].
Should I be concerned with the above underlined in the readme file?
I am 77 and not very tech oriented so I have the above last question.
Thank You very much for your time.

Door open error

1. HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series
2. Windows 7
3. "Door Open" the door or cover must be closed to print.
I have just replaced the cartridges as the lights were flashing. The door is closed. I have also disconnected the power and checked for any obstructions or jams. There were none. the lights have stopped flashing on the device itself but I am still getting an error saying the door is open even though it is not.
This is not the first time I have had this error occur and I have no idea how it resolved itself the last time.

Same problem on the 7600 and 7700 series OfficeJets. HP has admitted elsewhere on this forum that these issues came up during the design phase, but were not corrected. The "ink cartridge door open" problem has been around for years, yet HP continues to design and sell printers with the same issues. The fact that the door is open has no bearing whatsover on the printer's ability to function - the door could be removed and the machine could still print, scan, fax, copy, etc. (Don't be fooled by HP assertions that the door is necesary to protect the ink cartridges from dirt and dust that can get into the compartment and damage the printer. Those cartridges are locked into a sealed system and the door itself provides little, if any, protection from dust.) This is a "warning" that should be an "advisory" that can be overriden by the user. The VERY simple fix would be to update the software (in the many, many updates HP feels the need to send) so that all functions would work with the door open or removed. That fix, however, would inhibit HP's ability to keep telling you you that you have a broken printer and need to buy a new one, and to sell post-warranty "product support." HP should be ashamed that it does not have the will (or skill) to resolve such minor issues.

J6480 Ink Cartridge Door Hinges Broke. Door Open error message won't let me print. What can I do?

Have always been very careful with cartridge & scanner doors. Pressing OK doesn't remove error message. Broken hinges will no longer go down, so Door Open message won't go away and preventing printing.

The problem is the spring tension used to hold the cover open is stronger than the poorly designed weak hinges.
The way I solved it was to break both the hinges, (pretty easy to do just open and close the cover a few times), lift the cover up being carefull not to break the ribbon cable (wires) from the cover to the base. Then I pryed out the lower spring plates, these are located in the hinge assembly of the printer and removed the black plastic plunger and the large springs below it from both hinges. The cover wil now stay closed and allow you to print. You just have to be careful when changing the print cartridges as the cover can open too far now and possibly break the wires going to the top cover.
Happy Printing

HP 1410 All in One Door Open Error

A friend gave me his HP 1410 All in One printer a while back, so I installed all the drivers to my Windows 7 Home Premiuim Sony Laptop. The Scanner works just fine, but when I attempt to print a document, files pile up in the queue with an error to the side, Door Open. I've closed the door, but still get this error. When I open it, the ink container centers, and when I close it, it goes back to one side of the printer, but the error remains. I've restarted the printer but the error remains. Is it a broken part, or is there a way to bypass the door check?

your door interlock is not makeing contac.chack the front door to see if it is lineing up whit the covers or see ifyou brook aneything inside the front cover whear you added toner.the interlock is in the front door of the michane also you can make sure all of the other doors is closed

Officejet 7310 print cartridge door open error message

I have just tried replacing my black ink cartridge with a new one and it started giving a cartridge door is open error message. I have reinserted it several times and used old cartridges that were ok before but the same message remains. i have checked the colour door and the black door and the projecting wire is slightly loose as it looks like a piece of plastic that holds it in place has gone. I have tried using blue tack but it is now giving a message saying 'Error - remove the right cartridge and check it'. I can try supergluing the wire but I dont know if its this or not, or if the cartridge door sensor is playing up, but I don't know where this is? Can anyone help otherwise it looks like I will have to get a new printer?

Gallery Images: How to make clear PNG's open in full screen with a white background?

Hi,
So in the Life on Earth textbook, there is an image of an ant that has no background, so when you pick it up, you can see the text below without the standard "white box" around it.
I've scorwed the internet looking for answers but couldn't find any.
Please see the photos snapped from my phone of this:
Unfortunately... When I try to achive this, my images open on a black background.

Well, if I put a white background in my image, it opens in full screen with a white background. But has a white square when I pick it up:
This is with a 2028 x 1496 image same as above, just no background - came out of Illustrator - and this has the effect I want, as the first post but still opens to full screen with a black background.
Thanks for the help... Hope to get this one figured out!

Deskjet D1360 error: Door Open SOLVED

Been using this Deskjet printer for over 3 years. never seen this error: "Door Open." "Cover Open" is a common message when the cover is opened to access the cartridges, but where is the door on a Deskjet 1300 series? Where is the sensor that triggers this message? Nothing will print when this message Door Open appears. Tried turning the printer on and off. Tried rebooting the notebook computer on and off. Tried re-inserting the cartridges and paper. Have not tried re-installing the printer drivers. What to do?
Solved: Door Open is the same as Cover Open in deeper layers of the Printer Software. There is only one cover with a sensor on this printer.
Solved: By reinstalling the printer software, the Door Open error message disappeared and the blockage to printing stopped, allowing normal printing to proceed.

The only thing I can think of is the rear access door? Try the steps in this document:

Computer says printer HP deskjet F2180 door open but it is closed

Computer says printer HP deskjet F2180 door open but it is closed. Printer seems to be happy and working OK (no lights telling me there is a problem) and when I took the ink cartridges out (21 and 22) then put them back in the printer it printed out the scan document for me. It's just that in the HP printer section on the PC it's saying 1 document in queue and Printer: door open. I've tried everything - switched off everything for 30 seconds etc and time is of essence as I have to have things printed by Saturday pm and collated etc. Please help! Thanks, Lindaeleanor.

Hi @lindaeleanor,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your Windows 7 computer says printer HP Deskjet F2180 door open, but it is closed. I am happy to look into this for you!
I would suggest to start by trying out our HP Print and Scan Doctor program, and going through this guide, HP Deskjet, Officejet, Photosmart, and PSC All-in-One Printers - 'Door Open' Error Message Displays .... If those two options do not resolve your issue, proceed with the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 7).
Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this information helps, and have a great day!

Hi jenni7694,
Need to have you check the door sensor arm on the door to make sure this is not broken. This is the little piece of plastic i have highlighted Red in my screenshot below.
