Orange exclamation point flashing along w/ the power button. Unable to print/copy/scan

[estesian]

Hello. My printer recently started flashing an orange "!" as well as the power button and paper symbol have been flashing. I have not been able to print, copy or scan. I've tried turning it off but it won't turn off and when I unplug it, the same issue comes up.  I also tried unplugging the power cord from the printer and letting it rest. That didn't help either. Any suggestions?? Thank you!

Welcome to HP Support Community

I would like to help

Please try these steps 

- Turn on the printer.

- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

- Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.

- Remove the ink cartridges from the printer.

- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip.

- Wait at least 60 seconds.

- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to a wall outlet.

- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

- The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

- Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

- Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.

- If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.
