Hi @Rodge1966,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand your printer shows flashing lights and only works after restarting. Let’s go through a few steps to check what could be causing this.
a. Check for Paper Jam or Obstruction
• Open the ink cartridge access door and the rear cleanout door.
• Gently remove any jammed or partially fed paper, torn bits, or debris.
• Make sure the paper path and rollers are clean and moving freely.
b. Verify Paper Loading
• Ensure paper is properly aligned in the input tray.
• Do not overload the tray—keep it within the paper limit.
• Adjust the paper guides so they lightly touch the paper edges.
c. Check Ink Cartridges
• Open the ink access door and confirm both cartridges are installed correctly and clicked in firmly.
• If any protective tape is still on the cartridge nozzles, remove it.
• Clean the copper contacts with a lint-free cloth if there’s any ink or dust buildup.
d. Restart the Printer (Power Reset)
• Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord from the printer and wall outlet.
• Wait for 60 seconds to drain residual power.
• Plug the power cord directly into the wall outlet and turn the printer back on.
e. Check Wireless and Status Lights
• If the Wi-Fi light is blinking along with the icons, press and hold the Wi-Fi button and Cancel (X) button together for 3 seconds to reset the network.
• After reset, reconnect the printer to Wi-Fi using the HP Smart app.
I hope this helps.
