Printer error (orange or blinking light)

Printererror (orange or blinking light) 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.

my hp laserjet 1300 printer shows blinking the orange light instead of the green one and I couldn't find out what is the reason

1. Go light/button blinks twice with solid green and orange lights
2. Green light starts blinking with go light twice and then both go off
3. orange light goes off.
4. green light followed by orange light followed by go light cycle twice and a third time by the green light
5.followed by the orange light continuously blinking.

I have already tried the following trouble-shooting:

1. Put in a new cartridge
2. Made sure there is paper properly seated in the tray
3. Made sure all doors closed (I even took off left side to verify no memory cards
4. Verified all doors closed
5. Done a cold reboot by holding the Go button while turning the unit on.
6. Repeated steps 1-5 multiple times.Hope It's resolve all Your Printer Problem,
