Hello,

I am not able to get my HP Deskjet 4100e printer to work. I followed the instructions that said, to hold down the Wireless button and the Cancel button for 3 seconds until the blue light starts blinking. Then I downloaded HP Smart, then opened the app, HP Smart said my printer was offline, even though the blue light was still blinking, and the printer was plugged in to an electrical socket. To just to see what would happen, I inserted my USB cable and ran HP Smart again, and this time I got a message that said: Use setup cartridges.

What do I need to do to get my printer working?

Thank you,
