Hi @blondo,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

If the exclamation point on your HP LaserJet M140we printer is flashing continuously and you're not able to print, it typically indicates an error condition or a problem that needs attention. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue.

 

  • Check for Paper Jams: Open the printer cover and check for any stuck paper or debris. Clear any jams you find. Make sure to remove any small shreds of paper that may be stuck inside.
  • Check Toner Cartridge: Ensure that the toner cartridge is properly installed and seated correctly. If the toner cartridge is low or empty, replace it with a new one.
  • Reset the Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for about 1-2 minutes. Then plug it back in and turn it on. This may reset the printer and clear the error.
  • Check Printer Display: If the printer has a display panel, check if there's any specific error message being displayed. This could give you more information about what the problem is.
  • Update Firmware: Sometimes firmware updates can resolve various issues with printers. Check the HP website for any available firmware updates for your printer model and follow the instructions to update it.
  • Inspect for Hardware Issues: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there might be a hardware problem with the printer. 

 

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the flashing exclamation point issue on your HP LaserJet M140we printer.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
