What causes an hp c5550 all in one to turn on properly then all lights start blinking?

I Have an HP c5550 all in one printer which I think goes into oscillation and all lights on it begins blinking and the power button will not turn it off. I have to unplug it to stop it. When I reconnect it, it will work for a few minutes and starts blinking all over again. I have had it on an XP machine but just recently put it on a windows 7 ultimate machine with the exact same results. Also the last time I got it to print instead of turning off and starting blinking it just kept repeatedly printing the same page which was supposed to pring one copy. Besides jacking it up and running a new one under it, what could be the matter with it?

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

    My eprint on my all in one deskjet printer 3050 j611a is not lighting up help

    HI Michele100,
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums. I understand the ePrint light on the front panel of your Deskjet 3050A J611 printer is not lit up.
    To better assist you, would you please supply some further information:
    How is the printer connected (USB cable or wireless)?
    What operating system are you using on your computer? whatsmyos.com
    Are you getting any error messages? If yes, what do they say?
    Is the printer plugged directly into a wall outlet?
    Thank you.

    Most likely.
    You can try to boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and run AHT from there if it boots.
    If not it sounds like it is time to take it to Apple for repair.

  • HP C3180 All in One Wont Turn On

    My printer will not turn on. I have been using it recently and it was working fine. I came into print and it would not turn on. I checked all the cables and they are properly connected. When I switched to a different power outlet the device flashed on and off for a second, then would not turn on. This happens everytime I plug it in.
    Just wondering if anyone had a clue on what I need to do to remedy this situation, or do I have to go out and buy another printer.

  • C5550 printer gives error message "Turn off power, then on again" with all flashing lights

    This printer all of the sudden in constanty jamming up and gives error message "Turn off power, then on again", makes a lot of noise, and does it again.  Can't get any printing done!  I'm about to throw it out the window.  Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    I have been looking around trying to find the error that is associated with the blue blinking light above the memory card slots on the lower, right-hand side of the front of the printer. I have found that it is called the photo light; but, in regards to the flashing of it, I can't seem to find what that means.
    I recommend removing all memory cards from the slots, unplugging the power and leaving the printer unplugged for a while. Hopefully when you plug it all back in, everything will be ok. If not, let me know. In the meantime I'll keep looking and when I hear back from you I'll hopefully have some more information for you.
    Thanks for your detailed reply, have a great day, Look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Why has my Kodak all in one printer stopped working properly since downloading Yosemite?

    Printer feeds paper and ink carriage passes twice and then stops.  Eventually the paper is spat out with no ink on it.  Bizarrely the printer works fine if you request a test print or printer head alignment test.  Is this a software issue?

    Yup this truly *****!!! My Kodak all in one printer also won't work either since I updated my Mac Just have to say Apple that it is really disappointing when you are running a small business and you have to spend extra expenses that shouldn't be necessary in buying a whole new printer. I checked your printer updates and sure enough there was every update for every other printer except Kodak. Ah well.. while am going to spend money on a new printer I might as well spend money on a new computer too.

  • My imac G5 turns off on mi then dont want to turn back on at all but after one day turns on mormaly then turns back off again

    my imac G5 turns off on mi and dont want to turn back on at all but nex day tuns on normaly then tuns back off again

    It could be several possible issues.
    1)  Your G5 iMac could be overheating.  Depending on which model, you might be able to open the back by yourself (not on an iSight model), and using a can of compressed air, youcould blow the dust out of it.
    2)  The power supply could be going bad.
    3)  The hard drive could be going bad.
    There could be several others.
    If you have the original, came with the iMac when purchased new Install Disks, you can try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it can determine any hardware issues.  It can't always find the problem.
    Good luck.

  • My iPhone 3GS just turned off and then when it started to turn on all these words came up. what do i do now?

    I had just woken up and looked at my ipone i answered a few texts and after i did that it just went black then the apple sign came up and it started to turn on after about 5 seconds of the apple sign all these words came up like rows of sofware information but all over it says panic and on the bottom in brigter bold letters it says panic: We are hanging here...550 far: 0x i have tried plugging my iphone into iTunes but it isnt connected i dont know what to do

    This can be caused by faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take the iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • C7280 All-in-One - uploads hang at 12%, then 45% and prints one page at a time - broken pipe

    Printing upload hangs at 12% then 45%, then aborts printing with error message "Stopped - Unable to print data. Broken pipe".  Can this be fixed?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi JGarner98,
    A broken pipe error is a programming construct that is designed to 'pipe' data from point to point. From the description you have provided, it sounds like the operating system is telling yout that is has lost the ability to write date to the printer. This is generally caused by some sort of corruption in the CUPS printing system.
    CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. - Source
    To fix this, I suspect the best approach is to reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to printing again.
    Reset Printing System
    Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
    In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    Click OKto confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Repair Disk Permissions
    On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    Double-clickDisk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
    When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
    Select Add other Printer or Scanner                                                       
    Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver 
    I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know if this resolves the issue. Thanks.

  • Unable to install All-in-one Software & Drivers for Officejet 5610 All-in-One printer

    I downloaded the software "File name: AIO_CDB_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe [1/1, 362.68M] version 13.1.0" and tried to install but was not successful after number of attempts. I tried HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows also but it also failed. I could not download even after number of attempts. It used to get aborted at different stages at every attempt. I am interested in HP solution centre for scanning documents. Please provide solution.

    Hi there , I just wanted to stop in and share my suggestions as well, to hopefully help you out with the installation issue you are having with your Windows 7 system. Try these steps in order: Try unregistering and re-registering the Microsoft Windows Installer service:
    1. Click the Start menu and type " cmd " in the search field and press enter.
    2. Type in " msiexec /unregister " and then press enter.
    3. Type in " msiexec /regserver " and then press enter.
    4. Restart your PC and try the installation. Next, run this SFCS to try and repair any corrupt files in your OS:Using System File Checker to Restore System Files    Let me know the specific results please!Best wishes to you!Show thanks for my reply to help you today by hitting the "thumbs up" icon below!

    Hi,
    Try connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet, remove any power strips, extensions, surge protectors, etc..
    A such is likely to happen due to power issues.
    If that does not help try following these steps:

  • Website turns on but then some features start messing up like i cant scroll or the scroll list gets compacted and i cant see what is on the list etc

    I go to this chat site often and with fire fox when i log on to it it works fine for a bit but then the panel on the right that shows what users are logged on etc gets compacted and i can't see who is online etc. Also my firefox turns black after prolonged use or left unattended. If i type something in the search bar my drop down suggestion menu is all black and if i go to a new site its also all black. I have to close firefox and restart. What is going on here?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

    Try ooting into your Mavericks Recovery partition - by holding down the command and R keys shilst booting.
    Once at the Recovery screen, open Disk Utility, slect your hard drive icon on the left of the screen (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you'e renamed it) and click on the "Verify" button. If you get green text telling you that everything seems to be O.K., just reboot. If you get red text telling you that the drive needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If repair is successful, you should be able to bott normally.
    Call back with results.
