It has everything to do with the cartridges. I had just refilled a color at Walgreens, and it wouldn't work. I switched to an old (empty) one and it does work. Several people say that hard core cleaning will solve it.

the moving ink frame is probably pointing to a symbol such as replace color ink( three dots on ink cartridge picture). Replace color ink. You are probably printing your black and white documents with colored ink--always select black or greyscale.

My HP Deskjet 940c stopped printing. There are no orange lights flashing (like the last time it stopped and it needed a new color cartridge). Any suggestions?
Try using the HP Print Diagnostic Utility in Windows.

I put in new cartridges and the orange light keeps blinking
If that's the access foor at the back of the printer might just be loose or unlocked. Try locking the door into place and see what happens. Or if you have a duplexer. Try these:
  1. Press the buttons on each side of the duplexer to release it. Figure 7: Press the buttons to release the duplexerc02622982.gif
  2. Remove the duplexer from the product.
  3. Reattach the duplexer. Press the buttons on each side of the duplexer, and then gently push the duplexer back into the rear of the product until it snaps firmly into place. Figure 8: Reattach the duplexerc02622983.gif
  4. Repeat the steps to reattach the duplexer if the lights remain on.
