Hi @Frank51038,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I can imagine how frustrating this must feel, your HP Smart Tank 7602 sitting there with those blue and amber lights flashing, refusing to print or connect to Wi-Fi. It’s like the printer is speaking in a secret code while you just need it to work. Let’s decode this together and get you back to printing smoothly.

 

What the Blue & Amber Lights Mean

On HP Smart Tank printers, blue light = wireless status, and amber light = attention/error. When both flash, it usually indicates:

  • Wireless setup issue OR
  • Printer error requiring attention (such as a paper jam, ink system issue, or incomplete setup).

 

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Restart the Printer
    • Press the Power button to turn it off.
    • Unplug the power cord for 60 seconds.
    • Plug it back in and turn it on.
       
  2. Check for Error Messages
    • Look at the printer display for any error codes or messages.
    • If you see something like E3, E4, or E5, note it down (these indicate specific issues like paper jam or printhead problems).
       
  3. Reset Wireless Settings
    • Press and hold the Wireless button (blue icon) and the Cancel button together for 5 seconds.
    • This restores network settings to the default.
       
  4. Reconnect to Wi-Fi
  5. Check Ink System
    • Open the ink access door.
    • Ensure printhead carriage moves freely and ink tanks are filled.
    • If the printhead doesn’t move or the lights keep flashing, it may indicate a printhead or sensor issue.
