Printer having alert light on but no known issue HELP!

[aosbadass]

I have a HP Officejet 7110 and the alert light is blinking like there's a paperjam or something. I checked but found nothing. Now it's acting stupid and i cannot print. How do I reset the printer back to factory setting?

Hi @aosbadass,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

I understand that you are facing issues with blinking lights.

I suggest you perform a printer reset and update the printer firmware

- Turn on the printer.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.
- Remove the ink cartridges from the printer.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to a wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
- Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
- Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.
