HP ENVY 6458e All in ONe printer showing all kinds of lights flashing after I have reset my wireless

[PawPawSteve]

Hello, This is PawPaw Steve, who is having problems with my HP ENVY 6458e All in one printer, after resetting my network connection to my router.  I went to HP support and followed their steps of correcting my problem, but to no avail.  I have pushed the Network WIFI reset button on the back of the printer, then after releasing the reset button, then all of the lights on the printer is flashing.  What initial  printer challenge, was trying to use the HP Smart on my Android phone printer network, then the printer would not print from my laptop or my wife's Iphone.  THE BIG Question is what does all of the many lights flashing mean?  I would appreciate anyone's help.  Thank you!
