"A Paper Tray is Open. Close the Tray to continue" has overtaken everything about my $85 printer that I bought 5 years ago. I have watched every video on the internet and read every suggestion. One of the worst suggestions was Best Buy asking me if someone could look at it for $40. I can replace it for $65.
I can do anything. Factory reset does nothing. A thorough cleaning. Hiding then adding again. Nothing. Been like this for 3 days now. It happened 2 times before but for only a minute, then again for an hour.
I guess $85 for 5 years was a good run. But things should not just stop working. it just sat there, did its job for 5 years then decided to not want to work anymore.
Incredible, I am sucker and will buy another HP.
