I have the same error on my new printer.  Looking carefully at the back cover i think there is meant to be a trigger to tell the camera when it is closed but for some reason it isnt doing its job correctly.

Welcome to HP forums, I see that you are getting "paper cover is open" error.

 

Replace the paper cover, and then resend the print job.

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.

Followed these steps but it didnt make a difference, the light continues to flash red and the camera/printer still seems to think the cover is open - even though it clearly isnt.

Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate your time and effort.

 

This looks like a hardware issue.

I am sending you a private message with the service options. Please check the mailbox icon at the top-right corner of this screen.

I hope this helps resolve this issue completely.
