Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro M280-M281 Multifunction Printer series
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am mostly happy with my printer, except one very annoying "feature", the blinking power LED on the front of the printer.

 

This printer is a SOHO printer, it sits on my desk and the flashing LED is a very disturbing visual distration.  It also flahses all night, lighting up the room.  I have to explain to the wife, that some braindead fool didn't understand the way in which this printer is used, and decided that having a permenently flashing light to indicate the printer is "ready" all night, every night, was somehow an appealing feature.

 

Short if disabling it with the centre-punch, is there a way to stop the **bleep** thing?


Thanks.
