My printer keeps showing that the front door is open, only once I press down on the front of it does it work. I have tried to reset the printer multiple times but the error keeps displaying. I think something may be wrong with the sensors but I am not sure how to fix it.

Hi @thequickone,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
I see that your HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Printer has a door sensor problem. I would be happy to help you!
This could be the result of a hardware problem (which would require a service)
However, before we come to that conclusion, let's update the firmware update and
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
- Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
- Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
- Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet (don't use a power bar or a surge protector).
