Hi @keshavbhardwaj1 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Thanks for sharing that—and I’m really sorry your HP Ink Tank 319 is acting up. 

A blinking cartridge light followed by a complete stop in printing definitely points to something needing attention, but we can work through it together.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help get your printer back on track:

🛠️ Steps to Fix Cartridge Light Blinking and Printing Stoppage

Check Ink Levels

• Make sure all ink tanks are filled between the minimum and maximum lines.
• Low ink—even if just one color—is enough to trigger a blinking light and halt printing.

Inspect the Printhead and Cartridges

• Open the printer cover and gently check that the printhead is seated properly.
• If you recently installed new cartridges, remove and reinstall them to ensure proper contact.
• Clean the copper contacts with a lint-free cloth if needed.

Reset the Printer

• Turn off the printer and unplug it from power.
• Wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in and power it on.
• This can clear temporary errors and restore normal function.

Run a Printhead Cleaning Cycle

• Use the printer’s control panel or HP Smart app to initiate a cleaning cycle.
• This helps if ink flow is blocked or uneven.

Check for Paper Jams or Obstructions

• Even if the error light points to the cartridge, a jammed paper or stuck carriage can also cause the printer to stop.

Update Firmware

• Visit the HP Ink Tank 319 troubleshooting page and check for any available firmware updates.
• Keeping firmware current helps resolve known bugs and improves stability.

If the blinking light continues or the printer remains unresponsive, the printhead may need servicing or replacement. I can help you check for compatible parts or guide you through contacting support if needed.
