The hp laserjet 1020 the front cover door open or the toner cartridge is missing

I have one of those printers. Can you explain a bit more? Is this the message on your PC when you try to print? Open top cover, carefully remove toner cartridge and then plow out dust with canned air. (Do this outdoors to keep from breathing it) Then examine the integrity of the door. When you put it all back, does it run briefly then stop? Power cycle printer and reboot PC as well.

How can fix this error. i seen this "the hp laser jet 1018 has the front cover door open or the toner cartridge is missing"

Hello !!

For tha particular error you are facing, here is the reason. These printers have a switch that triggers an interrupt when the toner door is closed. Usually there is an arm on the door that pushes the switch. It is quite sensitive and delicate. Then sometimes there is a tab on the printer's toner and if that breaks off then that error will be generated.

But in your case as you have not removed or inserted the toner, I think option 1 is applicable to you.

Now, if this printer is in warranty you should send it to HP for Free repair/replacement.

HP LaserJet 1020 won't print. Error: HP LaserJet 1020 has the front cover door open or the toner cartridge is missing. The door is closed and the toner crtridge is installed properly. I tried to upgrade...

Did this just suddenly happen or was it after you replaced the toner cartridge or opened the door?
I have found that if the toner cartridge is not completly positioned into the printer, it can give this error.

Hp laser jet 1018 giving error that front door is open or toner cartridge is missing

If you are using a non genuine HP cartridge, it is very likely it is defective and can not read the chip on the cartridge. Replace the toner with a Genuine HP cartridge.

Hello, the more certain is that this bad since the cartridge, remove to accommodate it again, if you want to be tested for direct printing of the printer opens and closes the cover 3 times, then she will try to print a test page.

Had the same problem. Changed cartridge. Still didn't work. I suggest taking out cartridge and examining inside of printer carefully. I found a piece of balloon and a hair tie (aargh!, my kids). Works now.
Just wanted to post this as one more thing to check before junking the printer or spending money on HP support.
