Hi @Obese88,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing a Blinking light issue with your HP DeskJet 2710 All-In-One Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
This condition occurs when the wireless connection is on, but the printer cannot find a wireless signal.
To assist better:
- Did you make any changes to your router?
- How far is the router from the printer?
While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
Press the information button once and check once, if the issue persists, then please follow the steps on this document: HP DeskJet 2700, 4100, 4800 Printers - Blinking Lights
Also try to Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer:
- Prepare a printer for a Wi-Fi connection by restoring the Wi-Fi setup mode.
- When the settings are restored, the printer enters Wi-Fi setup mode for about two hours, making it discoverable during the HP software installation.
- Most inkjet printers without a touchscreen: Press and hold the Wireless
and Cancel
buttons until the Power button flashes, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.
- Once you restore the network to defaults, then please follow the instructions on this link to connect the printer back to your PC.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
