I understand you are HP Smart Tank 525 printer is blinking, it typically indicates an error or issue that needs attention. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
- Check for Paper Jams: Open the printer cover and check for any paper jams or obstructions in the paper path. Remove any stuck paper carefully.
- Ink Cartridges: Ensure that the ink cartridges are properly installed and seated correctly. Make sure they are not empty and are inserted into the correct slots.
- Reset the Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for about a minute, then plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the printer and clear the error.
- Update Firmware/Software: Check if there are any firmware or software updates available for your printer model. Updating the firmware/software may resolve the issue.
