Hi @PBradleyG ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand all the lights on your HP ENVY 6458e All-in-One Printer are blinking, it usually indicates an error that requires attention. 

Here are some steps you can follow to try and resolve the issue:
 

1. Reset the Printer

  • Unplug the printer from the power source.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

2. Check for Error Messages

  • If the printer displays an error message on the control panel or your computer, follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.

3. Check for Paper Jams

  • Open the access doors and check for any paper jams or obstructions.
  • Remove any jammed paper carefully, ensuring there are no torn pieces left inside.

4. Check Ink Cartridges

  • Open the ink cartridge access door and make sure the cartridges are correctly installed.
  • Remove and reinsert the cartridges to ensure they are seated properly.

5. Perform a Hard Reset

  • Turn off the printer.
  • Unplug the printer from the power source.
  • Unplug any USB or Ethernet cables.
  • Wait for at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cable back into the printer and turn it on without connecting any other cables.
  • Check if the blinking lights issue is resolved.

6. Check for Firmware Updates Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Make sure the printer firmware is up to date. You can update the firmware through the HP Smart app or the HP website.

7. Factory Reset the Printer

  • If the above steps do not work, you may need to perform a factory reset. Refer to your printer's user manual for instructions on how to perform a factory reset or use the HP Smart app.
