Hi @Stuff007,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
When the envelope and droplet symbols are flashing on your HP DeskJet 2720 All-in-One Printer, it usually indicates an issue with the ink system or paper jam. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.
Check for Paper Jams:
- Open the printer's paper tray and check for any jammed paper. Remove any paper if found.
- Check inside the printer for any small pieces of paper that might be stuck.
Check the Ink Cartridges:
- Open the ink cartridge access door and ensure the cartridges are installed correctly. Remove them and then reinstall them to make sure they are seated properly.
- Check if the ink cartridges have any protective tape still on them. If so, remove it.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 60 seconds.
- Plug the printer back in and turn it on.
Inspect the Ink Cartridge Contacts:
- Check the contacts on both the ink cartridges and inside the printer for any ink build-up or dirt. Gently clean them with a lint-free cloth if necessary.
Update Printer Firmware:
- Ensure your printer's firmware is up to date. You can check for updates through the HP Smart app or HP's website.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
