Hi @ddtraveler,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

It sounds like your printer is experiencing an error, which is commonly indicated by flashing lights and error messages. The specific "E" error along with a flashing white light could be indicative of a variety of issues depending on your printer model. Here are a few general steps you can follow to troubleshoot the problem:

Check the Printer Manual: Look for the printer manual or the manufacturer's website for the meaning of the specific error code ("E" and the flashing light). This will give you specific guidance based on your printer model.

Paper Jam: Check if there's a paper jam. Sometimes printers stop functioning due to paper being stuck. Open the printer carefully and remove any jammed paper if present.

Check Ink or Toner Levels: Make sure that the ink or toner cartridges are not empty. Replace them if necessary.

Restart the Printer: Turn off the printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This can reset the system and potentially clear the error.

Check for Software Updates: Ensure that your printer's firmware is up to date. You can find firmware updates on the printer manufacturer's website.

Printer Connection: Verify that the printer's connection to your computer or network is secure. Try reconnecting the cables or re-establishing the network connection.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
