@THEBARN04, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

 The flashing orange light on your HP DeskJet 4130e All-in-One Printer after printing usually indicates an error or attention requirement. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Check for Error Messages

• If there's a paper jam, low ink, or another issue, the HP Smart app may display an error message.
• Open HP Smart on your PC or mobile device to check for alerts.

Check Ink Cartridges

• The orange light may indicate a cartridge issue (low ink, improperly installed, or faulty cartridges).
• Remove and reinstall the cartridges, ensuring they click into place.
• If ink levels are low, try replacing the cartridges.

Clear Paper Jams

• Even small paper bits can trigger warnings.
• Open the printer’s rear access panel and inside compartments to check for jammed paper.
• Remove any stuck paper carefully.

Restart Printer

• Turn off the printer, unplug it for 1-2 minutes, and then turn it back on.
• This can reset the error condition.

Update Firmware & Drivers

• Visit HP Support and update your printer's firmware and drivers to ensure it runs properly.

Reset the Printer

If the issue persists, perform a factory reset:

• Turn off the printer.
• Unplug the power cable for 60 seconds.
• Press and hold the Power and Cancel (X) buttons for 10 seconds.
• Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
