I have hp deskjet 5550 printer,when i was trying to print a document there is no print out, two lights are blinking
Hi, This could be Low-Ink or paper Jam. Try turning off The printer, Unplug from The Mains Electric, for 3-5 Minutes. Turn back On, if Lights Are Still There. Check The Ink-Levels. And Replace Cartridges, if necessary.
Mike.

If you have the $30 or so dollars, look online at www.newegg.com for a cheap printer. Lexmark and HP are pretty dependable printers.
