Microsoft Windows Vista

all lights are flashing on my printer including the error light.  I have turned off the printer and unplugged the power cord to reset, but it did not remove the error.  Now what?

Hey @rach0228,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

 

I understand that you are having some issues with blinking lights on your Deskjet 2542 All-in-One Printer. I can help you with that.


To start, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Once done, this document outlines how to troubleshoot blinking lights on your printer.

 

If after following the above you are still unable to stop the blinking, the printer needs to be replaced. You can contact HP Support by clicking on this link and filling out the form at the bottom to discuss options based on your warranty.

 

Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to resolve your issue, please click on Accept Solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. Both icons are below this post.
