Hey @Chryc1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having some issues with a blinking light warning on your Laserjet M1132 Printer. I can help you with that.
To start, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Once done, this document outlines how to troubleshoot blinking or solid lights on the printer.
Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are still having issues, please let me know what lights are on on the printer. If you are able to resolve your issue, please click on Accept Solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. Both icons are below this post.

That sounds like an initializing error. What we'll do then is the following:
- With the printer powered on, remove the toner from the printer.
- With the printer still powered on, remove the power cord from the back of the printer for one minute.
- When the printer finishes initializing, insert the toner cartridge.
If after following the above the printer still will not initialize, the toner or the printer needs to be replaced. If you are using a genuine, non-refilled toner, contact HP Support by clicking on this link and filling out the form at the bottom to discuss options based on your warranty.
Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to clear the error, please click on Accept Solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. Both icons are below this post.
