Iv been trying to print something that is 2 pages long. It prints out the 1st one fine, then the 2nd one comes out really bad, like the inks low, but I just refilled it maybe 2 weeks ago.. Theres no way its empty. The power LED light blinks continually, when I press it, nothing happens. When I turn off the printer and turn it back on, nothing changes! This has happened continually for the past week, but only when I try to print out something thats 2 pages or more. >:[ help?Iv been trying to print something that is 2 pages long.

Is this a network (cat 5 cable) printer or a USB printer? Continual unplugging of a USB printer can cause issues where it will not recognize that device in which case you need to uninstall the printer and plug in to have Windows reinstall. If it is a network printer then you can either Repair or check settings by clicking "start" and type "control panel" (open when the control panel APP shows. You can "repair" or "troubleshoot" by right clicking on printer in "view devices and printers" or check "port" and make sure it shows the IP address of your printer and not "WSD". "WSD" is a windows chosen driver and notoriously has intermittent connection problems causing VERY slow printing and "offline" messages.
If it used to work, then try unplugging and
reconnecting the AC power cable for USB scanners. No guarantees at all,
but it may work. Unplugging and reconnecting the Firewire cable in XP
also sometimes works. Give it a few seconds to be detected.
If it says printer is offline, it usually means your printer is not connected to the PC. Blinking printer light means there is a problem with the printer (usually paper jam) or with the ink. Check the ink cartridge. Take the cartridge out and put it back in. Make sure you also check the USB cable that goes from your printer to the PC, take it out and put it back in. Also, try to turn off the printer, take it out of the power outlet for 30 seconds and put it back in. If you have a power strip, don't use it, try plugging it directly to the power outlet on the wall and turn it back on.
go to start and control panel, choose option for Printers and under that you will see the Printer listed. You just have to make a right click on the Printer and choose option "USE PRINTER ONLINE"
tray this The procedure for the factory inspection mode is as follows. (1) Turn off the printer power switch, open the front cover, and remove the drum unit. (2) Turn on the printer power switch while holding down the control panel button. The Drum LED comes ON. (3) Lightly press the panel button again. (4) Check that all the LEDs except the Ready LED are OFF. ✒ If the toner sensor is ON, the Drum LED stays ON (error). ✒ If the front registration sensor is ON, the Alarm LED stays ON (error). ✒ If the upper paper cassette sensor is ON, the Data LED stays ON. (error) (HL-1250 only) NOTE: The lower paper cassette solenoid is turned ON/OFF even if the panel button is not pressed. (5) Check the rear registration sensor. ✒ If the rear registration sensor is stuck backwards, the Ready LED stays OFF. (error) ✒ If the rear registration sensor is moved back and forth, the Ready LED comes ON at any time. (error) (6) Check that only the Data LED comes ON while pressing the panel button. ✒ If the paper eject sensor is ON, the Drum LED stays ON. (error) ✒ If the lower paper cassette registration sensor is ON, the Ready LED stays ON. (error) If the registration sensor is ON, the lower paper cassette solenoid is turned ON, and the Ready LED also stays ON. (HL-1250 only) NOTE: The lower paper cassette solenoid is turned ON/OFF even if the panel button is not pressed. (7) Install the drum unit. ✒ Check that the Drum LED goes ON and the Ready LED goes OFF. (8) Close the front cover. (9) Continue to press the control panel button. ✒ Check that the Data LED stays OFF. (10) Release the panel button. (11) If all the sensors except the toner sensor are correct, the printer goes back to the Ready status. If any error is detected, the printer stays in the inspection mode.

Does it also do it when the printer is not connected to the computer
it's HP's way of saying that it's time to buy a new printer.
