@Srah, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

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

I understand you're experiencing a printer error, along with flashing yellow lights, and the printer is not printing at all. Let's work together to get this resolved.

Interpret the Flashing Lights

Flashing yellow (amber/orange) lights typically indicate:

  • A paper jam
  • Low or empty ink/toner
  • Cartridge error
  • Connectivity issue

Basic Reset

Try a simple reset:

  • Turn off the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the printer and wall outlet.
  • Wait 60 seconds.
  • Plug it back in and turn it on.

Check for Paper Jams

  • Open all access doors.
  • Remove any jammed paper carefully.
  • Ensure no torn pieces are left inside.

Check Ink or Toner Cartridges

  • Open the cartridge access door.
  • Remove and reinsert the cartridges.
  • Make sure they are properly seated.
  • If any cartridge is low or empty, replace it.

Update Printer Firmware

Outdated firmware can cause errors. Visit: Official HP® Support

Enter your printer model and install the latest firmware.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
