@Shreshta24, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP Smart Tank 529 All-in-One Printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
When all the lights on your HP Smart Tank 529 All-in-One Printer are flashing and blinking during or after the printing process, it usually indicates a hardware issue or an error that needs attention. Follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
Check for Error Messages
- If your printer is connected to a PC, check for any error messages on your computer screen.
- If there is a specific blinking pattern, let me know.
Power Cycle the Printer
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug the power cable from both the printer and the wall socket.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes.
- Plug the power cable back in and turn on the printer.
Check Ink Levels & Ink Tanks
- Ensure that ink levels in the tanks are above the minimum required level.
- If an ink tank is too low, refill it with the correct HP ink.
Inspect the Printhead & Cartridges
- Open the printer cover and check if the printhead is properly seated.
- Remove the printhead and reinstall it securely.
- If the printer uses cartridges, check if they are properly installed.
Check for Paper Jams
- Open the printer’s front and back access panels.
- Remove any stuck paper carefully.
- Close all panels properly and restart the printer.
Update Printer Firmware
- Go to HP Support and download the latest firmware update for your printer model.
- Install the update and restart the printer.
Perform a Factory Reset (If Needed)
If none of the above steps work, reset the printer:
- Press and hold the Resume & Power buttons for 10-15 seconds.
- Release them when the printer restarts.
- Reconfigure the printer settings.
Let me know how it goes!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
