Paper Tray

[Suey08]

Hi,

I have an (HP) Office Jet 5230, but it  is showing on the screen ' a paper tray is open'.  I  have switched off the printer and on again a couple of times and checked that there is no paper jam and the paper tray  slid back into place correctly but its still stating that the tray is open so I cannot print anything.

I have tried the virtual assistant - which was of no help whatsoever, and I also rang the customer number but could not speak to a human being, they sent me a link to the VA but that was incorrect!

Please help!

Many thanks,

Sue
