NO FLASHING BLUE LIGHT

[GalleyGirl231]

I have put about 24 hours of my time on the printer. It was purchased in April 2018. I was earlier able to get it back online after following all of the instructions through Instant Ink and through HP Printer and Scan Doctor. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, disabled the firewall, reset my router, numerous times. Every time there is a power failure or I shut it down it come up as if it is a brand new printer asking for Language and Country, then I could not get past the Instant Ink message. Got past that message through Web Services. Another time I could ONLY scan and NOT print. I went through all of the above steps. Got it back up and running. A day and a half after printing and scanning I shut down the printer and unplugged it and returned it to the place where I have had it since I purchased it. NOW when I turn the printer on there is NO Flashing blue light so that I can connect it to the wireless network. When the printer comes on I am getting the error  Instant Ink message. I cannot connect since the network does not see the printer after following all of the above many times again. There is NO FLASHING BLUE LIGHT. Does this mean there is a bad network card?

@GalleyGirl231 That could be right, although to confirm, I suggest you follow the below steps:

Lets start with power reset as per HP standards, here's how we recommend doing it:

• Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
• Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Wait at least 60 seconds.
• Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  • NOTE: 
  • HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
• 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.

If the issue persists, please upgrade the printer firmware:
