HP SPROCKET 2-IN-1 Camera/Printer FALSE ERROR MESSAGE

[AshleyFromBklyn]

Good Day:

I am reaching out about my HP Sprocket 2-in-1 camera/printer. I received this as a gift and it worked great for a day. Now I have a red blinking light and an error message telling me the cover is off. I have tried taking the cover off and on numerous times and reset the device as well. I stil get the same error message. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Support Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, there's an issue with the sprocket cover.

Don't worry, I'm here to help. 

Let's try updating the firmware -

Make sure your mobile device is connected to the Internet and then open the HP sprocket app. If there is a firmware update available, a firmware update screen displays. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the update. Your printer must be charged to 50% or higher before a firmware update.

Also, try a printer reset - 

On the printer, locate the pin-hole under the Paper Cover, insert a straight pin into the hole to press the
reset button until the printer turns off. Restart the printer.

Hope this helps!

Let me know how that goes.

I had the same error message and the above mentioned steps did not work.  I am still getting an error message that the paper cover is not on.

my firmware version is v1.08.24.06 and I’ve done the hard reset several times now.

thanks!

There is no firmware update and resetting the printer did not work. I have tried it numerous times
