Hi there,
My printer had a paper jam. After fixing it, I now get a message saying that the paper tray is open even when it is clearly closed. I tried turning power off, waiting, then turning on again but that did not work.

Hi @eeblo
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I see that you are facing tray open error.
The reason why this is happening is because the tray might have a small piece broken that isn't covering the sensor.
Kindly follow the steps mentioned in
