Deskjet

Hi could anyone help with a problem Iv got with my printer ? It had an orange flashing light, when Iv Googled it it says it’s because the ink isn’t HP but is. So I’m very unsure what to do ?

@Jazz2901, thank you for the information. 

 

Reset the printer

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
  4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
  5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

 

Re-insert the ink cartridges.

 

Kindly refer to this document to resolve any blinking lights issue on the printer.

 

Let me know how it goes.
