I keep getting an error message that the printer cover or door is open.
Clearly it is not. So I don't know what to do.
The printer will copy and print a document.
It will scan and print a document.
It will not print a document that I send to print from my PC.
Help please. I have tried unplugging, shutting down, restarting, etc. Nothing fixes this problem.
I recently changed print cartridges but they look fine.

Hi Beth77,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! 🙂 I see you are getting a 'Door open' error message on your HP Officejet 6815. You are still able to make a copy on your printer.
Please follow the steps listed below:
1. Open start menu
2. Type "services" in the search box
3 Right click on "services" and run as administrator
4 Click on print spooler
5. In the left hand pane click "restart"
6. Close window
Retry a print from the computer. Did this help?
