Hi @Sapz, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
A blinking power light on your HP DeskJet 1212 printer usually indicates an error that needs attention. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:

Restart the Printer

  • Unplug the printer while it's still turned on.
  • Wait at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug it back in and turn it on.

Check the Paper and Cartridge

  • Open the paper tray and make sure there is no paper jam.
  • If there is a jam, carefully remove the paper.
  • Ensure that the ink cartridges are installed properly.
  • If the ink levels are low, try replacing the cartridges.

Take care and have a good day.
