Blinking lights and printer offline

[RebeccaH13]

I have an HP DeskJet 2700 all in one series and randomly my printer crashed. It is listed as offline on my computer and there are flashing lights on the printer. The power button, the resume button, information button and coloured ink button are all flashing and i cant seem to figure out how to fix it. It wont connect to wifi anymore either so i cant get my computer to connect it in order to run diagnostics or use the HP smart doctor download. It is loaded with paper, has the proper ink cartridges and i never did anything differently. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting the offline error, I am glad to assist you.

Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to fix connectivity and printing issues.

Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.

• Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
• Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.
• If your printer is not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.
• If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
• If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
• If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.
• Try to print.

.Assign a manual IP address to manually connect the printer.

Find the printer IP address from the network configuration page to assign it manually.

• Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.
• Press the Wireless and Information buttons at the same time.

Setting a Static IP Address

Once you know your printer’s IP address from the page you printed, entering it is pretty easy. Here’s what you do:

1. Run your Web browser.
2. In the Web browser’s address bar, type the IP address of your printer and press Enter. Assuming you entered the right address, the HP printer control panel should appear.
3. Click the Networking tab.
4. Under Connections, click Wireless.
5. Under IP Address Configuration, click Manual IP.
6. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the appropriate boxes.
7. Click Apply.
