Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Printer. I understand that you are getting "Door open" error message and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting.
Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,
Close the cartridge door completely.
-
Open, and then close the cartridge door of the product. Make sure that the door rests securely against the body of the product.

-
Check the product control panel to see if the error message still displays.
Check the cartridge door for obstructions.
-
Inspect the door and the area around it to make sure that no obstructions prevent the door from closing completely.
NOTE:
Bits of paper, packing materials, and tape might prevent the door from closing completely.
-
Remove any obstructions.

Check the product control panel to see if the error message still displays.
Reset the product.
-
Press the Power button (

-
