HP DeskJet 4255e All-in-One Printer
macOS 12.0 Monterey

Check the cartridges, added paper and downloaded the apps to bth my phone and Mac.  The printer scanned (with a preview on my phone) and was trying to print from the laptop but this yellow blinking light (I believe is the problem) won't go away. 

Any help?

@amosbj, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Restart the Printer

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
  3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
  4. Wait for 60 seconds and connect the power cord back in.
  5. Turn on the printer.

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows only):

Update Printer Firmware (Update the firmware on an HP printer | HP® Support)

  • Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page. Enter your printer model number and search for the latest firmware update. Follow the instructions to download and install the firmware update.

Also, refer to this guide for further troubleshooting: HP DeskJet 2800, 4200, 4900 Printers - Blinking lights and error codes | HP® Support
