Everything is shut properly and it still shows this error and can't print. Scanner works fine.My printer is stuck with ‘Door open: the cover or door must be closed. Check that it is completely closed...’ message. However I don’t see anything open and or stuck.
so far I have tried restarting and remove/insert inks but with no luck. I just set it up and also printed a few pages without any issues. So nothing changed since that. It started happening out of sudden and now it doesn’t go away.

@Ncsuchess, Welcome to HP Support Community!
I see that the printer is in an error state, let us try to isolate and resolve the issue-
Update the printer firmware
Download available firmware updates from the HP website
With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Check for any obstruction or physical damage in the cover area.
If the issue persists, the only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.
I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset, and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps!
