Hi @Rob530,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like there might be an issue with the printer. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem.

• Check for Paper Jams: Open the printer cover and check for any paper jams. If you find any, carefully remove the jammed paper.
• Check Ink Levels: Ensure that the ink tanks are properly filled and seated in their slots. Sometimes, if the ink levels are low, the printer might not function properly.
• Restart Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the printer and resolve any temporary issues.
• Update Firmware: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer model. Sometimes updating the firmware can fix bugs and improve performance.
• Check for Error Messages: If there are any error messages displayed on the printer's control panel, note them down and look them up in the printer's manual or online for troubleshooting steps.

Hopefully, one of these steps will help you resolve the issue with your HP Smart Tank printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

The same thing happens to my brand new printer.  All the steps followed, firmware update etc.  I can print then the lights begin to flash at the end of printing. If i click the power button the printer resets and i can continue.  Not really an issue but it is a concern from an out of the box printer....
