HP DeskJet 2600 All-in-One Printer series
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've just set up my new HP Deskjet 2630 Printer today, but when I try to print it keeps giving me the 'Door open' message, but the door is definitely closed. I've restarted the printer and have taken the power cable out and put it back in but makes no difference. Any ideas?

Hi @nesimmonds90 ,

 

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

The Barachiel is at your service.

 

I understand you are in need of support,

I'll be glad to help you out, however, for an accurate solution I will need more details:

 

Have you attempted any steps on your own before posting on the HP Forums?

When was the last time it worked without these issues? 

 

In the meantime, please try the steps mentioned below:

 

Step one: Close the cartridge door completely

If the cartridge door is not completely closed, the error message displays.

  1. Open, and then close the cartridge door of the product. Make sure that the door rests securely against the body of the product.

    Figure : Examples of closing the cartridge door (your product might vary)

    Illustration of different ways cartridge doors close.

      note:

    To see how to close the cartridge door of your specific model, see the cartridge section of your product's User Guide.

  2. Check the product control panel to see if the error message still displays.

  • If these steps resolved the issue, there is no need to continue troubleshooting.

  • If the issue persists, see the next step.

Step two: Check the cartridge door for obstructions

  1. 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.

  2. Remove any obstructions.

  3. Check the product control panel to see if the error message still displays.

  • If these steps resolved the issue, there is no need to continue troubleshooting.

  • If the issue persists, see the next step.

Step three: Reset the product

  1. Press the Power button () to turn on the product.

  2. Disconnect the USB cable from the back of the product.

  3. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

  4. Disconnect the power cord from the product.

  5. Wait 30 seconds.

  6. Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet.

  7. Reconnect the power cord to the product.

  8. Press the Power button () to turn on the product.

  9. Reconnect the USB cable to the product.

  10. Check the product control panel to see if the error message still displays.

Let me know how that pans out. 🙂

I hope you have a good day ahead,

And Feel free to ask any other queries as  well,

Considering, this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help. 🙂
