• HP 5940 - color cartridge status light flashes with new HP 97 cartridge

  Just installed a new HP 97 cartridge and the light flashing color cartridge status. Put in old 95 HP cartridge and the lights are out, but this cartridge is empty. I have cleaned all connectors (inside the printer and the cartridge), tried reinstalling several times. Any ideas or am I stuck with a bad cartridge? The only difference I see between the cartridges, it is that the 97 is a greater variation of the 95. Thanks for any help.

• Fill the cartridges of ink on deskjet 9800. Red light flashing, won't print. Always worked before.

  Your Question: I haven't found new, original HP cartridges for my deskjet 9800 in any store. I so did my ink on deskjet 9800 as I did with success several times in the past. Two red lights keep flashing. It won't print. [Someone suggested that I need a new print head?] What should do? thanx

  The coding strip only should be cleaned if there is a problem - it is very fragile and can be damaged, making the printer inoperable.  There is a post here that describes how do to clean the MICR band, but respect the warnings and don't do it unless necessary.  There is also a post here that shows how to solve one of the problems mishandling can cause.  Do not clean the Strip unless necessary.

  The coding is the band one located just behind the stem of transport semi-claire. It aims to help the print cartridge faithfully keep track of its position as it moves along the stem of transport. Sometimes dust, ink or oil can accumulate on this strip and cause the following problems:

  • Prints "stairs" to the bottom of the left margin of the self-test page.
  • The margins left or right of the self-test are not properly placed.
  • Ink cartridges carriage slams on the left side of the printer.
  • Automatic test double-print or obscured shows the letters.
  • Defects to flow the length of a printed page (portrait orientation), or on the whole page (landscape orientation).
  • Printing stops and the lights of the Control Panel on the printer indicate an error.
  • Gaps appear in the printed text or images.
  • Slow printing

  CAUTION:

  Do not clean the strip of coding for the following symptoms: media pick questions, paper jam tilt, ink cartridge, missing points or rejection white stripes with printing and smeared or streaked black ink.

   

• light flash print cartridges

  I have a deskjet 6980, after I replaced the black and color print cartridges, the ink cartridge status light continues to blink and printer does not print.

  Hello

  You specify no operation troubleshooting you did. So, I have attached a link to the document that I found on the flashing of the lights for the DeskJet 6988 I've found about this product support page.

  Flashing lights

  There are some cleanup steps you go through to help solve this problem.  There are also a few measures of reset in the lower part of the document too.

• HP 6940 power, resume, right cartridge lights flashing continuously

  I found my 6940 HP with power, which takes up and fires right cartridge like crazy. I did everything that I could Google to try to resolve the problem, several times in the course:

  • Power cycle, including remove the power cable from the plug
  • factory reset (report, press Cancel x 3
  • Remove/replace cartridges
  • move the rear cart & more
  • start without installed black cartridge
  • start without installed color cartridge
  • start without any cartridges installed
  • Check and check for paper jams (he was never that I can tell)

  In each case, my method was.

  • Remove the power plug from the back, wait 15 seconds to replace.
  • Try something from the above list

  In each case, the printer works fine for a few minutes. It's the ping requests, it is accessible via the integrated web page and a test page can be the printer. In each case, after a few minutes, the lights flash, and the printer is no longer pings or via the web page. When the lid is raised, the bar that prevents the cartridges come off, is stuck in the up position (preventing removal).

  I'm afraid that the thing bought the farm, but I've always been happy with it and will not replace it (all they seem to do today are these monstrosities multi-function) if there's a chance someone knows something that can fix.

• DeskJet 932C - the power light is on and the cartridge flashing

  Hello! I know my DeskJet 932C is 'old', but it seems to be in excellent condition.  First time that I had a problem.  The power light is on and the cartridge is flashing.  When I open the cover, the plateau of the cartridge moves to the far left.  The arrow points to the unfortunate color cartridge.  The missed years ago color cartridge.  I use my printer to print B & W, so I've been printing with the empty cartridge in place for years.

  I removed a reinserted the color and B & W cartridges and turn on the power and turns off.  I used the HP print and scan doctor, and it's scan does not have something wrong, I clicked on print a test page, and nothing happens.  The test page is listed as 1 document in the queue.   Status: error - printing.

  The printer has been in its current position on my desk for years.  It was not known of any trauma... None does damage... no power failure.  It's clean.  Has been connected to 4 laptops and uninterrupted service.

  I prefer not to buy a new color cartridge.

  Would appreciate help.  I would like to know what it means and if there is a solution.

  Thank you!

  The printer will perform electrical cartridges to light control and a few other times.  If an error printing can be blocked to avoid damaging the printer.  Clean the contacts of the cartridge as shown in the document here can solve the problem, otherwise you will probably need to replace the color cartridge.  The 932 Deskjet will allow printing with an empty cartridge, but for years, the cartridge may fail electrically and needs to be replaced.

• DeskJet 940c: 940c cartridge light flashing

  I just print something yesterday and nothing happens (having previously printed a page). Looked at printer - cartridge light flashing. Used HP printer doctor, open lid and transport moved to tricolor cartridge so resumed there and in. No difference. Then taken and in the black print cartridge and carraiage moved to here! Repeated several times to no effect. Never had this problem before and I have no cartridge spare at the moment. I'm stuck for a solution!

  Thank you

  Hello

  For some unknown reason, it started working again after just checked to make sure that the USB cable is firmly connected the printer (it is).

  On the surge protector, I have always used an and reven didn't think that (not that I have now but I'll keep in mind of course). I used the guide you mentioned to troubleshoot not that it helped when I used the guide before it started working again after checking the USB connection. I intend to buy a new printer I've had this one since 2002 about, so I was not eager to buy new cartridges that might not even work. I have two in one I have a flat bed scanner and I like the look of the printer HP OfficeJet 8100.

  Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.

• I just installed an airport extreme router and WiFi works, but the status light still flashes.

  I just installed an airport extreme router and WiFi works, but the status light still flashes.

  Open airport utility... Click EI... and see what the cause of the problem. It will give the list of questions on the summary page. Click on each of them and he will offer you even solutions.

  for example the firmware needs to be updated... nothing major... or DNS is wrong or double NAT...

  Without our crystal ball, we do not know what is the issue.

• Cartridges lights flash on full cartridges

  My officejet pro K8600dn shows lights flashing on the printer cartridges, while the cartridges are full. Putting the printer turned off and didn't help. When I do a very strong push on the cartridges, that the lamps are going out and I can print. Then the lights flashing again. By the way: I only use original HP cartridges.  My desktop computer HP Pavilion and OS Windows 7 pro 64 x, has already the latest version of the software and the driver, but it does not solve the problem.

  Using authentic HP inks? I would clean the contacts on the cartridges to make sure the accumulation of ink was not causing and delivered with the printer being able to read that the cartridges are inserted correctly. If after manual cleaning, you still have a problem, I would like to do a hard reset of the printer. A hard reset will attempt to restore the printer to a known working condition and no user parameters are lost with a hard reset. First of all, start by cleaning, I know the model presented is not the same, but the cleaning cartridge is what one wants to follow.  To do this:

  1. Open the cartridge door.

• DeskJet 5550 cannot print the page to clean cartridges.

  DeskJet 5550, Win 7 64 bit, after clicking on the clean print cartridges, it does nothing. Power light is solid on. The menu box arrives with Click clean to clean the cartridges now. Clicking on clean makes this area of empty menu and nothing happens. No error or no program has stopped responding. Can the text and images fine print except that I need to run the utility for a few minor flaws. Past to the best setting which helped a lot. Does not print the calibration page either. Prints all the tests and the test page.

  I believe you can force a cycle of cleaning as follows: power on press and hold the power button, press on and release the button X twice quickly, then release the power button.  No page will print, but you should hear the printer to clean.  A more aggressive cleaning can be done by pressing the X button twice and once the page break button, a still more energetic cleaning by pressing the X button twice, then press the page twice break before releasing the power button.

  You can print a diagnostic page holding the power and then button by pressing the X button eight times followed by the button to jump to page four times, then release the power button.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

  On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

  I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

  The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

  It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

  Hi André,.

  You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

  I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(
