Hi @AC315,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

that definitely sounds frustrating. 😕 It’s like the printer’s throwing a little disco party every time you try to print something!

Could you tell me the exact model name of your printer? (For example: HP DeskJet 2723 or HP Envy 6000)

Also, when the lights blink, do all of them flash at once continuously, or is there a specific pattern (like 3 blinks, pause, repeat)?

This info helps me narrow down the issue and make sure we don’t miss a beat

 

We're looking forward to helping you get back up and running! 

 

Best regards,
