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.
Make sure that cable to printer is attached and if printer still shows offline then in control panel for the printers make sure that you right click and choose Use Printer Online
What the flashing light means The Power light can flash for several reasons: ? The printer cover is open. ? The printer is out of paper. ? A problem exists with the printer, such as a paper jam or a problem with a print cartridge. For information
Hello there:

Are you able to print a test page from the printer directly? if you are then check to see if the printer is set to Offline mode, if it's ok the I suggest you un-install the printer driver and re-install it again.
there is that interactive services dialog detection that appears and no printing is detected anymore .. it prints but nothing appears in the piece of paper. i am pissed off with this.
I also own an HP D2360. I had the same problem with eyang and vinerc. I brought the printer to a computer technician and he told me that my color cartridge is busted and needs to be replaced. I bought a new color cartridge and presto! My printer is working fine.
A couple suggestions. Unplug the usb cable from the pc to the printer, make sure there is no paper jammed in the machine, unplug the machine from the wall and see if you can move the print head left to right freely. If nothing is obstructing it plig the power cord in with out the usb cord plugged in. See if the machine goes to ready. If all of these fail, that means the main board has been damaged by a power surge, and it would be cheaper to replace the machine than repair it. Good luck!
