Print light blinking

I know your problem and i want to know that have you changed or refill your cartridge?.

if yes
place one plain paper in the tray.
it will print the test paper
print it and place it on the scanner with the printed side down.
press the scan button from the printer
printer will blink the light for some time and stop blinking
now it didn't print test print every time you print

thanks

You must be set you machine from program key
1> press menu>paper size>A4/Letter/set OK
after print or copy your requirement size.

This could mean that a 2-sided document was sent to the printer and the printer is waiting for the page(s) to be reinserted to print on side 2. Check your documentation or the HP support page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=75045&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
for more information.

The power light blinking indicates the printer is preparing to print a document. The resume light indicates 1) needs paper, 2) a paper jam anywhere in the printer, or 3) the ready to print side 2 of the document.

I hope this helps.

It sounds like I would check in the printer properties for this printer and under the "color" tab see if "print in grayscale" is checked. If you have tried multiple color print carts and still no color, it would have to be a setting issue. What if you print a test page from the printer screen it self? Go to the menu on the printer, and either select to print a self test page, or also try to copy a color document...this would help to eliminate the printer or the computer as the problem...

You have a broken gear main motor. I had the same problem, bought $5 part and after the replacement of the gear,it runs like new

Remove the toner, and try to gently pull out the paper jam.. If the page gets torn, or ripped, make sure you have all the pieces of the paper removed. Then re-start the printer. Print a test page to make sure the paper path is clear..

I thought my printer died on me, but it turned out it was a simple paper jam. The whole printer just locked up because of a paper jam! All I had to do was open the top compartment, remove the toner and get rid of the paper jam

hi, mezz

try this

There are 2 different types of flashing patterns with those two lights on the printer.
***
Resume light and power light BLINKING ALTERNATELY
Problem: Paper is jammed in the printer.
***
Resume blinking SIMULTANEOUSLY with power light

The print cartridge carriage is stuck.

Solution:
1. Open the top of the printer.
2. Remove anything that is blocking the carriage path.
3. Turn the printer off.
4. Turn the printer on.

Problem:
There is something wrong with the printer. (I didn't write it, I am pulling this from actual HP tech documents, so don't blame me on this one) :)
Solution:
Turn the printer off.
Turn the printer on.
If the printer will not turn off, unplug the power cable from the electrical outlet or wall outlet.
Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
Wait about 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Plug the power cord to the back of the printer.

Buttons and lights on the printer Two buttons and three lights are located on the front of an HP Deskjet printer.

• The lights tell when the printer is working or when it needs attention.
• The buttons help control the printer.

Buttons and lights Purpose POWER button and light Push the POWER button to turn the printer off and on. When lit, the light shows that the printer is turned on. RESUME button and light The light blinks when there is a problem with paper. When the problem is corrected, press the button. Print cartridge light The light blinks when there is a problem with a print cartridge. When the problem is corrected and the top cover is closed, the light will stop blinking. Troubleshooting blinking printer lights Blinking lights Reason

All lights are off. The printer is off (asleep).

Press the POWER button to turn the printer on.

The printer should turn on automatically when a print job is sent to it.

The POWER (top) light is on. The printer is idle.

The printer is ready to print a document.

The POWER (top) light is blinking. The printer is busy printing.

Allow enough time to print. When a document has many fonts or graphics or uses complex color such as a color photo, it takes longer to begin printing.

The PRINT CARTRIDGE (bottom) light is blinking. Possible causes:

• The front cover is open. Make sure the front cover is completely closed.
• The print cartridge is missing. Make sure the print cartridge has been installed correctly.
• The print cartridge is broken or incompatible. Lift the front cover, and wait for the print-cartridge cradle to slide out. Check the part numbers on the print cartridge:

Black: 51645A

Color: C1823D,

If the print cartridges are compatible and correctly installed, they may be defective. Try replacing the print cartridges.

If none of the above suggestions fix the problem, and, if the error message still occurs, it may be a hardware failure. Call the HP Customer Support Center.

I agree with another su=olution. The paper light was blinking on and off sugesting a paper jam. Paper had jammed in the back roller and displaced the small lever out of its slot.
Open rear cover, open paper guide by pulling it downwards so you can see the rollers, In the middle of the guide you will see a black lever about 25mm long to the right of this you will see a small slot. The guide will have been pushed to the left of this slot and the Plastic cam will be bowing toward the front of the printer (about 3mm). You need to pull the 25mm lever towards the rear of the printer and then slide the plastic cam to the right so the blade part of the cam slides into its correct slot. The blade is about half a mm thick and the slot is the same and is about 60mm to the right of the lever Use a torch to see it easier. This is a 2 minute job once you see what is wrong.
Hope we have helped someone out there fix a printer
