Hi @suniv,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

It sounds like you're experiencing some issues with your HP desktop, particularly with the power light flashing and the cartridge access door not closing, which is preventing you from making photocopies. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem.

• Check Power Connection: Ensure that the power cable is securely connected to both the desktop and the power outlet. Sometimes, a loose connection can cause the power light to flash.
• Power Cycle: Try power cycling the desktop by turning it off, unplugging it from the power source, waiting for a minute or two, and then plugging it back in and turning it on again. This can often resolve temporary glitches.
• Check Cartridge Installation: Make sure that the cartridges are properly installed in the printer. Open the cartridge access door and ensure that the cartridges are securely seated in their respective slots.
• Inspect Cartridge Access Door: Check the cartridge access door for any obstructions or debris that may be preventing it from closing properly. Gently remove any obstacles and try closing the door again.
• Reset Printer: Some HP printers have a reset option in the settings menu. Check your printer's manual to find out how to perform a reset. This can sometimes resolve issues with the printer's hardware and software.
• Update Printer Firmware: Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. You can usually update the firmware through the printer's settings menu or by downloading it from the HP support website and following the instructions for installation.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the flashing power light and cartridge access door issues on your HP desktop printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
