Blinking Lights on hp all in one printer 1510

All of the lights are blinking on my printer and it won't turn off unless I unplug it
I have unplugged it from the machine and from the wall socket
I have turned off my computer, restarted and plugged my printer back in
I still have blinking lights
Nothing has changed on my computer
I use windows xp
When I try to print I get an error messages saying my printer is not hooked up; it all looks good to me
Thanks

  • Blinking Lights on Panel on HP C7280 All In One Printer

    What does it mean when all the lights on the pnel keep on blinking?  It is a HP C7280 All In One Printer.  And it does print fine.  I did talk to a Tech at Besy Buy who indicated that it is a major problem and not worth fixing. Please advise and thanks! 
    Cheryl Saba

    Hi Cheryl - Do you see an error message on the display of the printer?  One of the first things to do would be to reset the printer.  Try following these steps:
    Without turning off the product, disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the product.
    NOTE: 
    The USB cable connects to the port on the back of the product. The port is labeled with the USB icon ( ).
    Figure 2: Example USB connection (your product might not look exactly the same as this example)
    Remove the cartridges from the product.
    Wait for the 'Insert Cartridges ' message to display on the control panel.
    Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
    Wait 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cord. If the product does not automatically turn on, press the Power button ( ).
    Reinsert the cartridges, and then close any open doors on the product.
    If you receive a prompt to print a calibration page, do so.
    Reconnect the USB cable to the rear of the product, and then try printing again.
    Hopefully the reset will resolve the problem.

  • Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One Printer Scanner

    Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One(SN MY59SD224W0498). Goes to flashing orange light. With Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. USB connection to HP Pavilion GU658AA-ABU a6250.uk .
    After cleaning ink drip tray including removing & refitting the small panel in the base towards the rear RHS of the  printer and also Super Glueing a small wedge of timber to close split shaft bearing for rear print feed rollers - looking from rear with clean out door removed this is at the LHS where the cogs are - paper feed is out of sync. When turned on with paper in feed tray printer draws in paper until about 2" (5cm) of paper protrudes from delivery slot & then stops. Paper jam is indicated by flashing orange light. On pressing Cancel/Resume, paper is expelled & another sheet taken in with the same results. Have turned off & restarted. Have moved cartridge cleaner tray right from front to rear & tested & then brought it right forward again & tested. Have turned off & unplugged power & USB & restarted after more than 30 minutes. Have uninstalled driver & downloaded & installed anew. Downloaded & ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility. All to no avail. Any suggestions anyone?

    Hi there nobster,
    This article should cover the blinking light. However, I suspect the printer requires servicing.

  • Cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet

    I cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet... at least I think that is the problem. I have followed all the instructions on HP Print and Scan Doctor as well as Troubleshoot HP Installation Failure. My router is running fine for everything else and I have entered the static address for the printer into the router.  It appears that my printer believes it is connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it multiple times), but when I type it's IP address into my IE nothing shows up. My router doesn't appear to see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect this may be a router issue: new router Asus Double 450 Mbps  N Router (Dual band - but it appears my router is using the 2.4Hz band to communicate with WPS). Windows 7 64. 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello NRHII,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to connect the Officejet 8600 over a wireless connection. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend power cycling the router, printer and computer:
    1) Turn off your printer
    2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
    3) Restart your computer
    4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
    5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
    Is the wireless light blinking on your printer? If so, please reconnect the wireless on your printer by using the wireless setup wizard: (This information is stated here.)
    On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch the Setup icon ( ).
    Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
    Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
    If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
    Also, as I was typing this post TreeFrog posted some great information to follow.
    Have you followed this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection? If not, follow this document. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • PSC 1510 All in one printer - won't print even black and white when colour cartridge not recognised

    My PSC 1510 All in one printer is flashing the "check printer cartrige icon" and both "Black" and "Colour" icons at the bottom left of the printer.
    It won't print at all, even when I select grayscale (black and white). The help pages tell me that if I remove the colour cartridge the printer will switch to backup mode and I'll still be able to print in black and white (though not copy or scan). But this is not the case, and I can find no way of switching manually to backup mode. The help pages have no useful explanation of backup mode. I've also tried cleaning the cartridge (which I'm pretty sure isn't empty) but that makes no difference.
    Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.  

    gabri21 wrote: I have a very similar problem with my PSC1510 but only the colour cartridge light is blinking. I am also unable to find any useful information to set up printing in back up mode. Can anyone assist in resolving this problem for us?
    With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here).  Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here.  If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here.  If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
    The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed.  I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 Series All in One Printer Offline

    Ok so I have had this problem for what seems like forever now. This has happened multiple times, and I always have had to use online HP tech support to fix it, but this time I don't seem to have that option. My printer says that the status is offline, and I really need to print something. I have gone through the forums, tries multiple different answers that multiple people say will work, and nothing has worked so far.

    HI , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand that you're having issues with your HP Deskjet 2540 Printer going offline. I would like to look into this with you. There are many reasons why this might be happening, is your printer connected wirelessly? Important! Do you turn your printer off between uses? If your printer is connected wirelessly, I recommend you always leave it on so it stays connected to your wireless network. Otherwise, it will lose the wireless network configuration and will need to be setup again and again. To determine which of these documents is suited to the problem, it will depend on whether your wireless light is blinking or is solid. If your wireless light is blinking, then it is no longer on the wireless network. Follow this guide, HP Deskjet 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 All-in-One Printer Series - Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. If the wireless light is solid, than it is still connected the wireless network. Follow this guide, HP Printers - 'Offline' Printer Status Message Displays (Windows 8). What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!

  • Hp officejet pro 8500 premier all-in-one printer

    The above printer is 1 1/2 years old and it has stopped printing.  When the printing became light, I installed new print cartridges less than a week ago.  Now, after five days, the printer is consistently cleaning the print heads and aligning the print heads and my documents are not being printed.  And, what is most frustrating, during all the cleaning and aligning, all of my new ink is gone and I'm receiving a message replace ink cartridges.
    Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on
    Options 
    08-24-2011 06:34 PM
    Well,
    to this is say, "get used to it", or throw it away.  Many, Many, Many people have had trouble with this printer.
    The following are common and frustrating issues that this printer exhibits on a regular basis:
    1.  Constant Self-Checking (usually every 20-30 pages of print)
    2. Very persistant Printhead Cleaning/Checking, (Every startup and after about 20-30 pages printed).
    3. Worn-out printheads (usually within 1,100 to 1,500 pages printed).
    4. Paper mis-feeds. 
    5. Paper jams.
    6. Nearly impossible to use once the printer reports ink-depletion.
    7. Nearly impossible to use CIS Ink for larger print jobs.
    8. Ink and printheads "expire" regardless of when they are placed into service. (get a deal on ink or printheads last year?  Too bad, the warranty is already expired, most likely).
    In short, this printer is the most EXPENSIVE printer I've ever owned, and the most frustrating to use. 
    I have just over 2,000 pages of regular text printed matter with very little color, and have already gone through 4 sets of ink, and 2 sets of PrintHeads. 
    Although it's true that you can leave the unit on, and let it go into standby, you should NOT be punished with constant and time-consuming "self-checking" everytime it's turned on, or prints a handful of pages, BUT, it does NOT appear that HP will be standing behind this printer disaster.  AND, to make things worse, they've gone on to redesign it, giving it a different look, and so there are about 6 different models/versions of the OfficeJet Pro 8500.
    Anyone needing a reliable print/fax/scan/copy solution should look beyond this printer, because it will leave you wanting more, and spending more than you ever imagined you would have to on a late model printer.ro
    What is going on?  Why does it just automatically clean and align?  I also get alignment failed messages.  Any suggestiions?  

    rammerjammer,
    Thank you for bringing this to my attention, your feedback is very important and I want to do my best to help.  To answer what is going on, since the printing became light, started cleaning itself constantly, and fails the alignment, the printhead was damaged.  Click here to see and use the Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges, Printheads, and Related Supplies.  There are many ways to contact HP.  The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for HP and Compaq products for Home & Home Office use.  If you no longer have a warranty with the printer you can still use the warranty that comes with the printhead or ink cartridges.
    If you have a carepack with the printer that extended the one year warranty then the troubleshooting will be covered along with the printer if the printer needs replacing.  Check product warranty here, see HP Out of Warranty Support Options for Select HP Consumer Printers here.
    To order a new printhead you can go to HP Sure Supply and enter your printer or go to the HP Parts Store and order the printhead by part number C4900A for the Black and yellow and part number C4901A for the Cyan Magenta.  These printheads go by region also so be sure you are using the right region, these were found using the United States region. 
    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One printer has separated the ink cartridges from the printheads.  The ink cartridges are on the lower left and the removable print heads are on the carriage inside the printer.  The printer goes through a calibration process when turned on that will use ink.  Leave the printer on and let it go into stand by mode.  This type of printer is energy star efficient and made to calibrate on start up and be left on.  Allow the printer to clean or calibrate only if the printer must.  If it starts cleaning a lot it may be time to do a little maintenance to the printer (recommend once a month for maintenance).  Please see the following links for further details.
    Cleaning the Printhead Contacts
    Printer Paper Tears, Wrinkles, or is Damaged while Printing from the All-in-One
    Paper Path Issues in the Automatic Document Feeder
    Officejet Pro 8500 User Guide
    The printer has a duty cycle of 7.5k page/month.  The XL cartridges have a composite page yield of 1.4k pages with about a third of the black ink left over.  To me it would seem that the printhead should last somewhere in between.  This printer was designed to save money on ink compared to the rest of the officejets.  I hate that it has been causing so much trouble, hopefully the information I provided will help.

  • !!!!!!!!!! HP C4180 ALl-IN-ONE printer ON a 175X external jetdirect printserve​r ISSUES

    Hi,
    its my first post here,   so HELLO to all
    i recently bought a printserver,   its a Hp 175x USB external jetdirect printserver  (can these names be any longer pfff)
    And my all in one printer is a HP C4180 .  
    I hooked everything up,  all lights are sollid as they are supposed to be, so no issues there.  If i press the testpage button
    It prints a nice page on the printer,  so all works from printserver to printer.
    BUT,  when i try to print anything from my PC it doenst work.
    I tried running the CD and it cant find the printer in the network.
    I DOUBLE CHECKED ALL WIRES
    What can i do to make everything work??
    The purpose is to be able to use the abbilities  (sorry for the crappy english, im belgian) 
    of the all in one printer in the entire house,  which are about 4-5 PC's.
    So they all have to be able to print and scan.
    HELP PLEASE

    Hello,
    Generally Print Servers are designed to be used for printing purpose. However in certain cases, we can use the EWS to complete the scan process.
    Here is a link to the old forum which discusses the procedure to scan from the EWS.
    http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questio​nanswer.do?admit=109447627+1298994065288+28353475&​...
    My suggestion is to get to get a network AIO to get complete functionality.

  • HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-one printer J611 series - mavericks and wireless set up

    Hi
    I have a HP Deskjet 3040A All-in-one printer J611, I have had this printer for about 2years and everything worked perfect then I bought an Apple still all was alright but when I updated my software I got Mavericks and ever since then everything went wrong....I have updated my computer and have AirPrint now and also HP ePrint(currently). How ever the printer was not working or connecting.
    Problem 1:
    When I tried to fix the problem I uninstalled all HP drivers to reinstall - found that you have to install the apple app Done!(Airprint)
    The printer was picked up by the computer and I can scan but I can not print, I'm using the USB cable, and when I print the computer shows it is printing and the printers lights come on but nothing happens(no messages display on the printer) then the computer shows the print is done - but the printer didn't print. Scan is working fine.
    Problem 2:
    Because of constant problems with the wireless connection I wanted to reconnect it to the router - Restore default.
    But now because I don't have the HP drivers, I have no idea how to connect it and I tried both connection ways WPS is not working when I press it on the route...nothing happens and the PIN, where are you suppose to enter the pin, nothing comes up on my computer (USB connected) 
    I have read the installation pages over and over but can't figure out what is wrong, any advice would be appreciated. 
    This question was solved.

    Hi Lilly4,
    I can certainly help you get the printer on the network and working again.
    Follow the steps in this thread to put the printer on the network without using the software or the WPS button. I believe  we have success doing it this way.  
    If you continue to experience an issue after the printer is on the network, please let me know. Thanks.

  • Printing 4x6 pics using the hp 1410 all in one printer

    Printer hp 1410 all in one
    OS Windows 2003
    Computer Dell
    Pictures downloaded from the internet and saved into "my pictures"
    I am currently  trying to print using 4X6 glossy advanced HP photo paper.  I go to print I select paper size 4x6 with tab.  On paper quality I select "other photo paper" as advanced photo paper is not an option(which I was directed to do so on the box of photo paper).   I changed the width guide and put photo paper with tabs facing me and hp symbol up.  The paper goes in half way and then the "check paper' light comes on. The picture paper jams and there is no ink on the paper.  I have referenced the user guide and I am following all instructions to a tee but to no avail. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

     I'm having a similar problem with hp c3180 all in one printer, trying to print on 4X6 photo paper.  I assumed it was because the back rollers were needing cleaned since that's always where the photo paper gets stuck (can't make the bend), so I did as I'd found in instructions elsewhere and cleaned those rollers with distilled water on clean, lint-free cloth.  Didn't help, still jams there in the back every time.  Printer thinks it's working OK sometimes, goes ahead and "prints" without getting any of the ink onto the photo paper since it's stuck there in the back and doesn't advance past that point.  Very frustrating, can't get even one photo to print.

  • Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

    Hi,
    My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
    Scenario:
    The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
    My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer,  then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
    This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance!!

    Welcome to the community @Larrypat 
    I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
    Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
    Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
    HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
    Let me know how it goes and the results

  • Deskjet 3520e all in one printer network problems

    Hi All.
    I have a brain teaser for the technical types out there hoping someone can shed some light on a weird sort of problem.
    History: All has been fine with my g6 Pavillion latop 64bit W8 and 3520e all in one printer and working as always very well.
    Oct 16th 2014 My broadband service went down and after many communictions with ISP eventualy received (Nov 4th) and installed a new "super hub modem".
    OK so far, Managed to connect laptop via wireless router and connect to internet etc., however . . . I cannot get my printer to network as before, I can use it via USB port but if I try to network it, The Cyan ink cartridge reports as being broken or damaged even though 3/4 full and will not allow printing, but when connect via USB port the Cyan ink cartridge registers normal and will print as expected.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?
    If I go down the route of uninstalling and reinstallin the Printer software is there a set order in which to do so?
    In the list of programs these four are shown. .

    HP Deskjet 3520 series Help
    HP Deskjet 3520 series Product Improvement Study
    HP Deskjet 3520 series Setup Guide.
    I would like very much to get back to network printing if at all possible.
    The router IP address is 192.168.1.3
    The printer IP address is 192.168.0.1
    I have been led to believe that as the addresses are so close this shouldnt be the cause.
    I must add that in the past I have had occasional printer software problems which I was unable to resolve without help from the technical centre and I would prefer not to restart the installation if at all possible.
    Your comments would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Un1corn.

    Hi @Un1corn 
    What exactly happens when you try to convert from USB to Wireless and configure the printer to the Virgin Media Super Hub? Do you get an error message of some sort?
    Maybe there is a firewall on the Super Hub. Do you have the model number for this device? I can look up some information to see what could be casing the issue.
    In the meantime, running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
    Connectivity:
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
    Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
    Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
    Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
    Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
    Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
    Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
    Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
    Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
    Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
    Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
    Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
    Source:Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows
    Click here to download and run the Print and Scan Doctor> www.hp.com/go/tools
    If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
    If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
    If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
    If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
    If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Problem staying connected to my Wireless Network with my HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a

    I just bought a new HP wireless printer replacing my old HP wireless printer which the wireless part worked fine, but the printing died.
    New printer HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a. I have installed and re-installed the software and drivers but can't get my printer to stay connected to my laptop. I have a Linksys "WRT54GL router but have the printer set with a static IP address. When I run tests on the computer and printer everything says it is fine. But every 30 seconds or so.. my printer goes offline on my computer and is especially noticeable when I am using the HP Solution center because it will keep blinking in the windows bar. I have talked to 4 technicians but no one can figure out what the problem is. They keep saying that it is on my end, but the old printer which was also an HP (Wireless 6150) never had any problems and I have not changed anything in my routing. Is anyone else having this kind of problem and has found a successful solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer is running Windows XP SP3
    Currently my router has WEP encryption, but I tried them all just to see if that had anything to do with it. (WEP works best for me since I have some devices which can only use WEP to communicate).
    Thanks.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.18.1.100 to .149.  Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
