Good Afternoon,

I see from the post that you are having flashing power light on your HP DeskJet printer. I'll be really glad to help you with this,

Let's start by performing a Hard reset on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet.

* With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

* Remove USB cable, if present.

* Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.

* Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.

* Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Hello,

Unfortunately your recommendation did not work. As perviously stated both the power button and all thre of the page selection lights are blinking from the moment I plug it in.

The causes and solutions under the blinking lights section does not apply to me.

Thanks for the help.
