Have an old deskjet 460.  No manual.  The icon on the top of the machine that looks like a lightning bolt is lit.  A steady red light.  What does this mean?

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull

the power cord from the printer then from the

wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to

wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power

up’ and restore the printer to a known good

condition (if it is possible). No user settings

are lost with a ‘hard reset’.


This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful

tools to use when the printer hardware is not

functioning properly!

 

do this & tell me if your still see the icon...

Although I am working on behalf of HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
