@Wendylynn78, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
It sounds like your HP DeskJet 2600 is showing multiple blinking lights and isn’t connecting to Wi-Fi. Let’s walk through the steps to get it working:

Perform a Printer Reset

Sometimes a simple reset helps clear any previous settings:

  1. With the printer powered on, unplug the power cord from the back.
  2. Wait for 60 seconds.
  3. Plug the power cord back in and turn the printer on.

Restore Network Settings

To connect to your Wi-Fi, we’ll first reset the network settings:

  1. Press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel button together for 5 seconds.
  2. This will restore the printer’s network settings to default and enable Wi-Fi setup mode (the Wireless light should start blinking).

Use HP Smart App to Connect

  1. Download the HP Smart app on your smartphone or PC:
    HP Smart
  2. Open the app and click Set up a new printer.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi.

Make sure your phone or PC is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want the printer to use.

Check the Light Indicators

Here’s a guide to what the lights mean:

If a specific light is staying on or blinking, this guide will help you identify the issue (e.g., paper jam, low ink, etc.).

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
