Hi @Sdk11005,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

When all the lights on your HP DeskJet 2755e printer are flashing, it usually indicates a general error or a problem that needs addressing. Since you just replaced a cartridge, the issue might be related to the cartridge installation. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

 

Power Cycle the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back in and turn on the printer.

Check Cartridge Installation:

  • Open the printer's cartridge access door.
  • Ensure the cartridges are properly seated and securely clicked into place.
  • Remove the cartridges and reinsert them to ensure a proper connection.

Clean the Contacts:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Open the cartridge access door.
  • Remove the cartridges.
  • Gently clean the electrical contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer using a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
  • Allow the contacts to dry completely before reinserting the cartridges.

Update Printer Firmware:

  • Make sure your printer’s firmware is up to date. You can check for updates on the HP website or through the HP Smart app.

Reset the Printer:

  • Press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds.
  • Release the power button and wait for the printer to reset.

Check for Obstructions:

  • Ensure there are no paper jams or obstructions inside the printer.
  • Check the paper path and remove any debris.

Check Cartridge Compatibility:

  • Ensure the replacement cartridge is the correct one for your printer model.
  • Sometimes, non-HP cartridges or refilled cartridges can cause issues.

Reinstall Printer Software:

  • Uninstall the printer software from your computer.
  • Download the latest version of the printer software from the HP website.
  • Reinstall the printer software.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
