HP F4140 Printer - all lights flashing, blinking E

All the lights are blinking on my printer's control panel and there is a blinking E where the number of copies displays. I've tried powering off printer, won't power off with the button. Also pulled power cord, and unplugged from wall. Can't reset the error. Is there a fuse that might have blown, or some way to manually reset this printer?

When printer is turn on that time printer reddy and cartridge light on so what is the problem

You can see four LED's on control panel, from top to bottom,1st is toner indication 2nd Attention 3rd is Ready light, 4th go light.. Observe led's are 'blinking' or 'On' condition.. # If toner light is blinking ="toner cartridge missing or contact problem or memory faulty.
# If toner light & ready lights are on= "toner low indication or refilled cartridge loaded".

Moved printer and was very careful about it. Now cannot get printer to work flashes "E" and color,black photo, resume and power buttons flash as well. No control of the printer at all

It seems that there is a Paper Jam or Cartridge connection issue
1) Check the paper : is there any paper stuck -
2) Remove the cartridge and reconnect them .
checked the print ..

Hp deskjet f4140 wont scan button just blinks

You will have to reinstall the printer/scanner drivers (check on the internet for your type/model and download the drivers if you can't find the original install cd). Usually the HP website is your best bet for old or new driver sets. Source(s): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/produ? Hope it works.
