My printer stopped printing and ask for 2+ toner cartridges. I put 2 tubes of toner in the printer and it still has an orange triangle where the level is indicated. A flashing orange "!" symbol on the control panel. The printer will not function.

Hi @geedmo,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
A flashing orange light on an HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w printer usually indicates a paper jam, an issue with the toner level (even though it's a "neverstop" design, there might be a sensor malfunction), or a potential problem with the printer's internal mechanism; check for any paper jams, ensure the toner reservoir is properly installed, and if the issue persists, please try the below steps
Please remove the Cartridges from the Printer if possible and try Hard Reset do keep us posted to help you better
** Hard reset :
1. Turn the printer On, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
5. Wait at least 60 seconds.
6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on. The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
9. Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Please uninstall the HP Smart app --> restart the Device, Wi-Fi router and printer --> install it back and check
Please update the Firmware the link will help on how to update the firmware on the printer or devices: Click here
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
