Hi @canordan78 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

A flashing power button on your printer usually indicates a hardware issue or a system error. 

 

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

 

  1. Power Reset: Unplug the printer from the power source, wait for about 1-2 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.
     
  2. Check Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the printer and a working wall outlet (avoid surge protectors).
     
  3. Inspect Ink Cartridges: Open the printer and check if the ink cartridges are properly installed and the cartridge door is closed.
     
  4. Firmware Update: If the issue persists, updating the printer firmware might help resolve system errors.
     
  5. Check for Paper Jams: Sometimes, a flashing power button can indicate a paper jam. Open the paper tray and remove any stuck paper.
