DeskJet F4280 Orange Blinking Light and "E" in display; refuses to print

[tkh2000]

Hi Guys !

I have ''HP Deskjet F2280 All-In-One'' Printer. I am facing blinking light and ''E'' in display. I checked the printer but printers constantly refusing to printing and scanning at all while it was working well a month ago. Ink cartridge is working well. I don't know what happened. Please help me !

Hi HevnLgh !

I tried your solution but it did not work. Check out this image. I saw scanner light panel is stuck, not moving. Could it be dust problem ?

@tkh2000,

I appreciate you getting back to me. You will want to follow the 'One of the Check Print Cartridge lights blinks' troubleshooting steps. Stated at the top of the document:

'An E might also appear in the Number of Copies display. This is an additional indication that there is an issue with the product that needs to be resolved. The presence of an E, however, does not affect the meaning of the blinking lights, and can be disregarded for troubleshooting purposes.'

Follow the steps listed, what happens, is the DJ F2280 now out of error state? If you are still getting the flashing lights you will need to contact our technical support at www.hp.com/contacthp/ as it may be the hardware.
