Suddenly the lights started flasihing and E6 appears, also flashing.

I have checked the paper and cannot find any paper which is blocking the computer.

I have switched off the printer a number of times, but each time when I want to

print the lights start flashing

What is the problem?   Thanks for your help.

Hi @Rod105,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

 

I see that you are facing an issue with your Printer that has an error code.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

 

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

 

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.

 

C) If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to further troubleshoot.

I followed all the steps outlined in your mail, but it did not work!

In the meantime I have purchased a new printer and would like to cancel my

HP Ink arrangement with immediate effect.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Rod105,

 

I am sorry to hear that the above steps did not help much but i do appreciate your efforts in performing the troubleshooting steps.

 

Please follow the below steps to cancel the service.

 

If you cancel:

  • You can continue printing with Instant Ink supplies until the end of your current billing cycle.
  • At the end of the billing cycle, you must remove Instant Ink cartridges and purchase Original HP Ink or Toner directly from the retailer of your choice to continue printing. Instant Ink cartridges only work in enrolled printers.
  • Your final monthly charge comes at the end of the billing cycle.
  • The Paper Add-on service ends with your Instant Ink service.

 

Note: HP Instant Ink is based on the pages you print, not cartridges or shipments you receive.

 

To cancel:

1) Sign into your account Instant Ink account

2) Verify the serial number by selecting Overview, and then Printer Details in the Status area.

3) Click HP Instant Ink, then Update Plan in the left menu.

4) Scroll to Plan Details.

5) Click Cancel my HP Instant Ink Subscription and then follow the prompts.

You receive an email confirmation immediately, and another at the end of the billing cycle.

 

Refer to this video link for more information related to the issue.

 

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.

 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
