Hi @PFox1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

A blinking blue light on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e means the printer is in wireless setup mode but hasn’t successfully connected to Wi-Fi yet. This usually happens during initial setup or after a network reset.

Why It’s Blinking

• The printer is searching for a Wi-Fi network.
• The HP app hasn’t completed setup.
• Incorrect Wi-Fi credentials or incompatible network (e.g., 5 GHz only).

Simple Fix Steps

1. Reset Network Settings

• On the printer control panel: 
  • Press and hold Wireless and Cancel together for 5 seconds.
  • This restores network defaults.

2. Use HP App

• Download HP App from HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site.
• Make sure your device is on the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
• Open HP app → Tap Add Printer → Follow on-screen steps.

3. Keep Bluetooth On

• HP App uses Bluetooth for setup.
• Enable Bluetooth on your phone or PC during setup.

4. Router Check

• Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz (printer doesn’t support 5 GHz only).
• Disable VPN or firewall temporarily.

5. Alternative: Wireless Setup Wizard

• On printer panel: 
  • Setup > Network Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard
  • Select your Wi-Fi and enter the password.

Take care and have an amazing day!
