Constant blinking of Wifi light without printing

Peteranijohn · ‎05-23-2026

Hi, please can anyone help out. Ever since i bought an HP Deskjet Printer A10 (2875) all in one, i have never used it, because the wifi light remains permanently blinking and would not function if sent to print. I took it to an HP approved service center, but still difficult to resolve.

I was told i bought an old version without spares to service. So disappointing i must say. Please he

Hi @Peteranijohn,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

The constant blinking of your Wi-Fi light on the HP DeskJet 2875 means the printer is in setup mode and is not successfully connected to a wireless network. Since you only want to print, you can completely bypass this by connecting the printer directly to your laptop or PC with a standard USB cable.

Turn off the printer.

Connect a standard square-ended USB printer cable from the printer to your computer.

Turn the printer on. Your computer should instantly detect it.

To stop the Wi-Fi light from blinking completely, press and hold the Wi-Fi button and the Cancel (X) button simultaneously for 5 seconds until the power light flashes, which resets the wireless radio.

I hope this helps

Take care and have an amazing day ahead! 🚀

Best regards,
