My HP Laser Jet 1320, stop printing automatically a short time ago.  The green ready light is on, but when I send a print job to the printer the orange attention light starts blinking.  Then i press the green go button and the printer prints, but not until I press the green go button.  Any ideas

Make sure that the paper size and type set on the printer itself matches the paper size and type that the printer driver is trying to print to.

Let me rephrase the issue.  When I send a print job to printer, the orange blinking attention light comes on and blinks.  Then if I press the green go button the print job prints.  This happens every time I try and send a print job to printer.

As Repairatrooper mentioned, check your paper settings. Check your paper tray selection, paper type and size settings in your print driver, printer and document to make sure they're set correctly for things like plain paper, letter size, tray 2, etc.... when you print. If the paper settings do not match, the printer will flash the attention light to prompt you to load the right paper, tray, etc.... Something changed in one or more of those and that's why it blinks until you press the GO button to say it's OK.
