Blinking orange light on printer

[Subvett]

Now the "flashing orange light" seems to be the gravestone of this printer-- and HP will no longer render my support as a customer.

Hello, @Subvett – Hope you are well 🙂
 

Allow me to welcome to HP Support Forums! It is a great platform to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others!

Going through your post, I understand that printer is having blinking light error. Are you using a Deskjet 990c printer? If yes, then try the steps listed here: Blinking Lights on the HP Deskjet 900 Printer Series

Also, perform a power reset on the printer as suggested below:
 

• Remove the cartridges from the printer.
• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Let me know if that helps!

Good luck 🙂

Hi

I tried this solution twice, and both times - as soon as I put the cartridges back in - the orange light behind to flash again.

Any other ideas please?
