The printer will often start flashing the lights. The screen will Say: Printer Error Please turn Printer off then on.
Usually happens while in standby. But sometimes happen while printing.

Hi @jmjohnson,
Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
Thank you for posting your query. I'll be more than glad to help you.
I understand that you are getting Printer Failure error message on your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer.
This issue could occur if the printhead is not installed properly or defective.
Let's go through a few steps that may help to fix this issue.
And here are a few steps in the link: 'Printer Failure' Message
Let me know if this works.
You have a good day ahead.

Thanks Rainbow,
I followed the instructions from the link you sent. Guess time will tell if this does the trick. So far all is good.
I waited a half hour before replying and nothing yet.
Greatful
