We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

A constantly blinking power button on the HP DeskJet 2700 series printer usually indicates one of the following issues:

Printer is Processing a Job

• If the light blinks slowly, the printer might be working on a print job.
• Solution: Wait a few moments or check the print queue on your computer. Cancel any stuck jobs.

Low Ink or Paper Jam

• Check the printer display or your computer for an error message.
• Solution:
  • Open the printer cover and check for a paper jam. Remove any stuck paper.
  • Check ink levels and replace low/empty cartridges if needed.

Connection Issues

• If the printer is connected via Wi-Fi, the blinking light may indicate a network issue.
• Solution:
  • Restart the printer and router.
  • Reconnect the printer to the Wi-Fi using the HP Smart app.

Firmware or Hardware Issue

• A constantly blinking power button may indicate a firmware issue or printer error.
• Solution:
  • Turn OFF the printer, unplug it for 60 seconds, then turn it back ON.
  • Update the printer firmware using HP Smart or HP Support Assistant.

Reset the Printer (If None of the Above Work)

• Steps to Reset:
  1. Turn ON the printer.
  2. Press and hold the Wireless button and Cancel button (Red X) together for 5-10 seconds until the power light blinks rapidly.
  3. The printer will restart and reset its network settings.
