@ALISON241, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Possible Reasons for Needing to Reopen Printer After Each Job on HP DeskJet 2721e! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

There could be multiple reasons why you need to reopen your HP DeskJet 2721e printer after each job:

Paper Jam:

• If there is a paper jam, the printer may prompt you to open and clear the jam before it can proceed with the next job.

Error Messages:

• Specific error messages or warnings may require you to open and close the printer cover to clear the error condition.

Cartridge Issues:

• Problems with ink cartridges, such as improper installation, may cause the printer to stop, prompting you to open and check the cartridges.

Printer Settings:

• Your printer settings might be configured in a way that requires manual intervention after each job. For instance, settings related to paper handling or job completion notifications.

Troubleshooting Steps:

Check for Paper Jams:

• Ensure there is no paper jam inside the printer. Remove any jammed paper carefully and check that there is no torn paper inside.

Inspect Ink Cartridges:

• Verify that the ink cartridges are installed correctly. Remove and reinstall them to make sure they are seated properly.

Review Error Messages:

• Check the printer display or software for any error messages. Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve any issues.

Printer Settings:

• Print a configuration or status report from the printer to see if there are any settings that might be causing this behavior. Resetting to factory settings might help resolve configuration-related issues.  

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
