Salve La stampante Photosmart HP D5160 dopo l'accensione inizia a produrre rumori come ingranaggi che si graffiano ripetutamente nell'area vicino al cassetto di sostituzione delle cartucce, alla fine dopo alcuni istanti la stampante smette di fare rumore ed ? pronta per la stampa, ma ultimamente, dopo sopra, sistematicamente non viene pi? stampato e il punto esclamativo rosso lampeggiante rimane. Le cartucce sono originali e hanno una capacit? superiore ai 3/4. Spero in tuo aiuto il prima possibile. Grazie. Roberta

It would be much easier for you and for me if you had mentioned the Operating System installed on your computer where you are going to install the printer. Anyway, select the suitable link for your operating system.
The Attention light is flashing red.
Solution The printer requires attention. Try the following:
* If the printer is connected to a computer, check the computer screen for
instructions.
* If you are printing a CD label on a CD/DVD, insert the CD/DVD holder in the
CD/DVD tray now.
* If you have a digital camera connected to the printer, check the camera screen
for instructions.
* If the printer is not connected to a computer, check for the following problems:
- Main cover open
- Out of paper
- Paper jam
- Print carriage jammed or stuck
- Print cartridge missing or inserted incorrectly
- Print cartridge tape not removed
- Incorrect print cartridge installed
- Packaging materials are not removed
* If you are unable to solve the problem by using the instructions above, turn off
the printer and unplug the printer power cord. Wait 10 seconds, and then plug
it in again. Turn on the printer.
