Hi
Did you printer jammed when printing? If yes, check for paper jams in the paper tray, from the cartridge compartment and from the access door (back of the printer if accessible or can be open) and clean the paper jammed.
If the problem is regard ink cartridge, remove and rub the ink head into a plain paper until ink flows. Then try to print again.
If ink cartridge error problem, try to install and reinstall it again.
Try also hard reset the printer.
1.Shut down the computer.
2.Open the top cover of the printer and remove the print cartridges.
3.Close the top cover of the printer.
4.Press the power button on the printer to turn the printer off.
5.Disconnect the communications, (USB or Parallel), cable from the back of the printer.
6.Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer for one minute.
7.Reconnect the communications cable to the printer.
8.Reconnect the power cable to the printer.
9.Press the printer power button to turn the printer on.
10.Open the top cover and reinsert the print cartridges.

Disconnect the unit from the computer, remove the power as well. Let it sit for 1 minute then power the unit back on. Don't connect to the computer. Does it still blink the same?
Try this:
2. Press and hold the "Paper Feed" (gray) button.
3. While holding the "Paper Feed" button down turn the "Power" button on and hold both buttons until the power light comes on 5-7 seconds.
4. Release both "Power" and "Paper Feed" buttons.
5. The printer should feed a sheet of paper in and print a test page.
The self-test should at least print out a set of either black or color bars, if not both (if you have a printer with both color and black installed simultaneously).
Try this version instead.
1. Power the printer off.
2. Press and hold the "Paper Feed" button.
3. While still holding the "Paper Feed" button, press and release the "Power" button. Continue holding the "Paper Feed" button.
4. When the printer starts pulling paper, release the "Paper Feed" button. It should print a test page at this point.
5. Power the printer off, as this test is continuous.
