Keeps saying cover open when its not. printer is x3470

Hi,
Here is a great article on how to try to resolve the cover open error on the Lexmark X3470. http://bit.ly/aoOtEP

Check if cover lid presses the cover botton

Open the cover, remove the ink cartridges, reinstert them, close the cover, and power it back on.

If you are in Canada call 1 800 663 7662, they are aware of this problem and i just called them and they are shipping me a free replacement, i had to ask to speak to a manager, mine was 17 mths old so i am not sure if there is a limit as to how old your printer can be, remember be polite, stay cool and if they offer a replacement to thank them

put your finger on the second hole on the top from the right and press the switch (it's small, gotta try a little...), when the display changes, press copy and close the door... it just worked for me!!
good luck

If your printer still in warranty please replace the printer or This is the problem the cover switch in the printer you need to replace the switch this switch is very difficult to find in the printer is usually hidden ,you need to check the cover there will be a projection in the cover which will go into a slot thats where the switch is located..

Good luck....
