Blinking Light with no cartridge problems

Hi, My D1460 has its light blinking with no status messages that suggests an error. However, I am unable to print as the light keeps blinking.

Could you please suggest some of the reasons for the light to blink other than cartridge anamoly.
Thanks

I believe this is normal with HP deskjets. I have a different model but HP deskjet 3740, which also gives a blinking light when there is a pending print job and or printer has run out of paper. I usually get rid of this problem by putting some paper and most importantly removing and re-plugging the printer power cord (which does a basic power reset on the printer and causes a refresh of pending print jobs). I hope this works for you too.

Power light is blinking: no paper jammed HP DeskJet D1460

Hi

The power light is blinking because one of your cartridges are bad. Hence need replacement. Try with the black cartridge as normally this goes bad.
tip

Printer error (orange or blinking light)

<b>Printererror (orange or blinking light)</b> After your printer has completed its initial startup you shouldhave a solid green light. If the light indicator is blinking or orange oftenthis is an indication of a printer error. For example, this could indicate a paperjam, issue with the ink or toner cartridge, or other serious error. Because there is no standard to what a blinking light or orangelight means if you're getting either of these we suggest referring to theprinter documentation for troubleshooting steps or methods of determining whatthe status indicator is reporting.

Status light is red

Hi, Based on your post/description, the Siemens AP/Router is at fault. This could have been brought about by lightning, power surge, plain hardware failure or system/software error. The red status light - on indicates an error (on the firmware)(blinking during start-up or when firmware is being downloaded/updated); WAN light blinking green - data transmission to/from your ISP (it is also possible that the router is trying to download corrective software or firmware update). Suggest you let it run for sometime just in case it is really downloading/upgrading firmware. If full reset of the router doesn't correct the problem, you may have to replace the unit. Good luck and kind regards.
