Hi @Soderberg1,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP Smart Tank 7000 printer is showing a flashing power light, and the display reads "00", which typically indicates the printer is idle or in a ready state, but the flashing light might suggest a minor error or attention needed.
Here are a few steps you can try:
- Power Cycle the Printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from both the printer and the wall outlet.
- Wait for 1–2 minutes.
- Plug it back in and turn the printer on.
- Check for Paper or Ink Issues:
- Make sure there’s no paper jam or empty paper tray.
- Check ink levels and ensure the ink tanks are properly filled.
- Inspect the Printhead:
- If the printhead icons are blinking or showing errors, it might need cleaning or reseating.
- If the printhead icons are blinking or showing errors, it might need cleaning or reseating.
- Update Firmware:
- Use the HP Smart App or visit the HP support site to check for firmware updates.
