@Kudzanai, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I understand you are not able to use the printer. Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:
Reset the printer
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
Reinsert the ink cartridges. Check if the carriage is moving freely.
Follow the steps from - Carriage jam or E3 error and Attention Light Blinks (Paper Jam)
Kindly refer to - Blinking Lights and follow the steps mentioned.
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
