A question about why the wi fi light keeps flashing if I am using the USB connection....

[mrg553]

I have a deskjet all in one printer 3050A the J611 series.

I have an HP probook 4530s with windows 7 pro 64 bit.

My question is WHY does the wi fi light keep flashing when my printer is used with a USB connection? I have NOT set up the wi fi. 

In the past, I used the wi fi, but do not now. 

But even when my printer is no longer printing and should be turned off,  it stays on and the wi fi is flashing. This is driving me crazy. When I remember I go and power it off. I feel it should turn off itself when the printer is finished. 

What can I do so it will turn off? What does it mean when the blue wi fi light keeps flashing? 

My notebook is used with the wi fi. But I have NOT set up my printer wireless. I have even uninstalled and then re-installed to get it to stop.

Yes*** I did google. I  think most people try to find the answer before asking but I cannot. I also hope people on this forum know their stuff and can help. Thanks in advance for the help.

Simple.  A flashing Wifi light says you are not connected to your routers SSID.   And you are not.   Just turn off the Wireless Radio in the printer and the light will go off.  Use the front panel to do this.
