I am not able to use my printer as I get continuous orange light(at the cartridge icon) and blue light(on paper icon). Can anyone help?
I cannot use my printer for a few weeks already because when I plug it, it's automatically turned on.
- nothing is appearing in CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY (small screen)
- PRINTHEAD ALERT LIGHT (light under the small screen) is red
- RESUME BUTTON LIGHT (paper with arrow icon) is in blue
- POWER BUTTON/LIGHT is not on
It is not blinking, it's just on and doesn't turn off even if I hold the power button.

Hi @Maemae77,
I'd like to help!
Try the below suggestions-
Reset the product
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
This condition occurs when there is no paper in the input tray. Load the printer with plain paper to resolve the issue.
-
Raise the input tray.
-
Slide the paper width guide all the way to the left.
-
Load plain paper into the input tray, and then slide the stack of paper down until it stops.
CAUTION:
Do not load paper while the printer is printing. Jams or paper feed issues might occur.
-
Slide the paper width guide to the right until it stops at the edge of the paper.
-
Pull out the output tray, and then raise the tray extender.
Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
