5 flashes indicates a faulty printhead or possibly a problem with the p/head contacts. Try removing the head which is easier if you take the cartridges out first(no tools required) and re-seat it having checked the contacts for dirt.

If that doesn't work it may be that the waste ink tank is full. Try this ...

If the supply lights are not lit, then you may have a paper jam. Check the rear cover. Also sometimes paper jam lights come on even though the paper has not jammed, just misfed from the cassette. Please let me know any further details.

This is a widely known problem with this printer and means the formatter board needs to be replaced. Save yourself the cost and headache of repairing and move on. The problem initially began as a random situation where I would have to turn the printer off and back on to get it to print.This eventually progressed to the problem you all are reporting which is the amber toner and jam lights on. I replaced the formatter board on mine and after one month the problem returned with the new formatter board needing replaced as well.

Of course, HP acts as if they've never heard of the problem. This company's integrity and quality has gone from number 1 to dead last.

I believe that 7 amber flashes refer to a cartridge error. Check that the cartridge is seated correctly.

your in line mode instead of page mode.

1. Turn printer power off.
2. Press and hold the feed key, then turn power back on.
3. When light starts to flash, release finger from feed key.
4. When light starts to flash again, press and hold the feed key until the light turns red (or amber), then release finger from feed key.
5. Wait for light to turn solid and press feed key once.
6. Check to make sure you are in the correct printer mode by printing a configuration label (Click here for configuration label example - Note item C).
