my HP OfficeJet 8022e cartridge access door is stuck shut ,

[auntbee1]

I got a paper jam in my HP OfficeJet Printer 8022e.  I was unable to get the cartridge access door to open.  I turned the printer off, waited a few minutes then turned it back on.  I still could not get the cartridge access door to open.  I turned it off again, then on again, it still would not open.  I tugged on the stuck paper and was able to get it out in one piece, but still cannot get the cartridge access door to open.  I would sure appreciate some help.  Thanks!

Hi @auntbee1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing a carriage issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
