blinking lights on hp deskjet 2514

[RachelK41]

I just got a new HP DeskJet 2514 All in one, printer, copier, scanner. Got it all setup and turned it on and the power light, paper light and error light all started blinking at once. I went ahead and downloaded the software in my computer and made sure I set up everything correctly. Still blinking! I've gone through all the troubleshooting and nothing is working. Des anyone know any secrets as to why this is happening or do I just have a defective printer?

Hi RachelK41

I understand the lights are flashing on the new Deskjet 2514.

I can help you with this.

Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
 

I have included a document for setting up the printer. How to remove all the packing material, loading the paper and installing the cartridges. Make sure the scanner lid is closed.

This document provides the display controls to find out which ones are flashing and provides a fix. Click Here.

If you require further assistance please provide the following information so I can
assist you better.

Which lights are flashing on the printer?

Did the printer print out the Alignment page and allow you to align the scanner?

How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)

What operating system are you using?
Here is a document to check your operating system for Windows or Mac.

I too have a brandnewdeskjet 2514 with the blinking lights.  according to your documentation is says i am in an error state.  I have followed directions to reset the printer but am still having blinking lights with error state.

Any suggestions?

my printer is connected to the wall outlet (as suggested).  An alignment page has never printed out. I am using WIndows 8. I have started from the beginning a few times.  I have "reset" the printer according to HP instructions as well.
