What does it mean when all the lights on the pnel keep on blinking? It is a HP C7280 All In One Printer. And it does print fine. I did talk to a Tech at Besy Buy who indicated that it is a major problem and not worth fixing. Please advise and thanks!

Hi Cheryl - Do you see an error message on the display of the printer? One of the first things to do would be to reset the printer. Try following these steps:
- Without turning off the product, disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the product.
NOTE: The USB cable connects to the port on the back of the product. The port is labeled with the USB icon (
).Figure 2: Example USB connection (your product might not look exactly the same as this example)
- Remove the cartridges from the product.
- Wait for the 'Insert Cartridges ' message to display on the control panel.
- Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord. If the product does not automatically turn on, press the Power button (
). - Reinsert the cartridges, and then close any open doors on the product.
- If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.
- Reconnect the USB cable to the rear of the product, and then try printing again.
Hopefully the reset will resolve the problem.
