Brand new HP Deskjet 2636 all lights blinking

[MarcosCruz365]

I just bought a brand new HP Deskjet2636 for college purposes from Walmart. I plug in the printer, insert the ink and all, and when I turn it on, all the lights including the small screen are blinking and do not stop. I cannot set it up or do anything with it and all I have is the power cable as I already threw out the box with the instructions by accident. What do I do?

@MarcosCruz365, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Reset the printer-

1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
5. Wait at least 60 seconds.
6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
