    Under the cover there is a micro switch that is activated by a small plastic tab attached to the cover. Probably either the plastic tab has broken off or the micro switch is pushed out of place so that the switch is always activated telling the printer that the cover is open.

    There is a black plastic tab toward the back of the bottom of the lid, about 6 inches to the left of the right side of the printer. This tab hits a hidden switch located just under the top. It tells the ink cart carrier to go to the center when the lid is opened.
