• HP Color Laser Jet CP1215: print - guard 'book light' flashing - printer stops charging of paper does not alter

  Hello!

  For about a week, I have the following problem with my HP Color Laser Jet CP1215: after 2-3 pages of printing, the device stops abruptly in the middle of a job and the light number 5 (paper) continues at the flashing light.

  However, the bin is full with paper.

  Ignitions and extinctions help only for another 2-3 pages, then printing will stop again as described above.

  Is there maybe a photoelectric cell that needs to be cleaned or a mechanical part that gives the status of bad paper from the paper tray to the printer?

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Best wishes

  Hi @wigl,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see that your HP Color LaserJet CP1215 printer stops printing when the print jobs. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

  I can see how frustrating it would be. To determine the cause, we need to use more than one document. Redundant that some steps may seem, I would execute all.

  Please, try the steps in this these guides:

  • HP Laserjet CP1215 and printers CP1217 - 'paper ' Error Message is displayed and the printer does not look upward or feeding paper.
  • The Paper Jam flashing on HP Color LaserJet CP1215, CP1217 printer.

  If the problem persists, try a hard reset:

  • Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
  • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

• Check print cartridge

  Hello

  I have a HP PSC 1317, which is now on display "check print cartridge".   I cleaned the contacts and replaced both cartridges, but it is always showing the same message.

  Can anyone help please.

  Hi Woollyx2,

  I see that you have a problem with your ink cartridge and have made efforts to solving the problems already. Please complete all of the steps described in the following document; Check light flashing print cartridge.

  If the problem persists, you may want to consider to call HP to see if they can offer you a discount, a newer model. Since you have already replaced the cartridges, I suspect that the issue is the printer and not the cartridge. To complete the steps outlined in the document as it will guide you through the procedure to clean the contacts in the printer and the cartridge. If it is / was something on the contacts in the printer cartridges would not solve the problem, try the solutions in the connection before you call HP.

• 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.

  Never forget, faulty cartridge. He took over and replaced it, it works now.

• printer all-in-one PSC 1315: check the ink cartridge light flashes

  the last time I printed the page came out very laboriously and slowly. The next time I turned on the print cartridge check printer is flashing. My specific request is the medium that contains the cartridges is a little loose (up and down) approximately 1/16 "or more. Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any advice...

  It is normal that there is to play in the transport. Slow printing is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  The document here may help address the error lights.

• HP Deskjet 6980 "Incompatible print cartridge" & flashing light

  I had without trouble for about 5 years, up to what this problem occurred recently in the blue.  I installed a new cartridge color #97 about 2 months ago and it worked fine for a few weeks until one day, he decided that I had an Incompatible cartridge.  I found info on the HP support pages and followed all these instructions.  The first time, I just pulled out of the cartridge & put again & it worked for a few prints then stopped.  So I did the cleaning with water distilled with great care.  He printed a test page, but then began to light flashing and same error message.  I took out the color cartridge to print everything in shades of gray and no ink comes out on paper. When I click on the printer, open the staus it says "finished printing" (or somethig to this effect).  IM using a mac mini & don't have not updated my OSX yet ~ 10.5.

  Can I return the cartridge to the store 2 months, but there is still a lot of ink insde.  Y at - it patches others? I'm really not more money for another cartridge flat and have this happen.  ISIT the time of a new printer?

  Thanks in advance.

  HI - you have definitely found the right document.  A couple of other things I recommend trying that I do not believe that the document covers.  First of all, off the printer with the power disconnected at the back of the printer, I would like to clean the contacts in the printer carriage.  Looks like the doc made reference to just clean the contacts of the cartridge.  I would also clean the cartridge contacts and transport black if you have not already.  If this does not resolve the problem, I highly recommend the back of the cartridge and try again.  If this does not resolve the problem, it's probably time for a new printer or get it repaired.

  Hope that helps.

• 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.

   

• HP DeskJet 460 - lights flashing, won't print

  
  

  Hi warringtonsaint,

  Remove the cartridges from the printer, then check again there is no little pieces of paper in the printer. Turn the printer off for 1-2 minutes and then turn it back on. I would like to know if you still have the same blinking lights without the cartridges installed?

• 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.

  Darryl Hello,

  I noticed your post about your problem with your Deskjet 6940 showing you lights flashing lights and working for a few minutes at a time before the return of the cycle. I want to help you as best I can. I see that you already have some troubleshooting.

• The yellow light flashes on the printer.

  Original title: Printer problems

  My printer print 1 page very well then the printer sounded like he wanted to do more printing, even though I only asked for 1. Now, the lite flashes yellow. I checked this: no paper jam. I cancelled all print jobs, just in case, although none showed. I disabled all the equipment, restarted and yellow button continues to Flash. The ink cartridge is new. I asked Windows Help for printer problems, none is shown. I asked Microsoft to help you, no answer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Just know that I'm not a cranky then please use the current language if you answer. Thank you. Jean

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

  You have reached the right forum. Let us work as a team and try to solve this problem.

  If I understand correctly, you have problems with the printer.

  Please answer these questions to better understand the issue:

  1. What is the brand and model of the printer?

  2 have you referred to the manual that came with the printer?

  3. have you tried to contact the manufacturer of the printer?

  If the printer has an orange light flashing, this may mean that the printer has an internal condition 'fault' which is found only in the printer itself.

  I suggest you contact the manufacturer of the printer for more help.

  Hope the helps of information. Don't answer if you need assistance, we will be happy to help you.

• 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 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.

• OfficeJet 100: All the lights are flashing, printer does not respond

  Sometimes when I print a document that contains multiple pages, pops up an error. During the print job, the printer stops work on the intermediate page (for example - second page), spits out the rest of the blank page and all the lights flashing. The printer does not any action, only a hard reset (disconnect battery). After that, he will normally for a same day behavior, and suddenly many, same error. Printer is mainly used through Bluetooth, but the same error occurs also in the cable.

  I checked almost everything I could, there is no paper jam, cartridges are placed correctly, battery is fully charged, also this page http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02643100, nothing helped. It's really annoying, when it arrives of the exhausts. How can I solve the problem? Any ideas? Thank you very much.

• HP Officejet Pro K8600: Power light + resume light flashing after printing only one Page

  After trying to print a document of several page, the printer produced a page and then the power light and the resume light (page feed) Flash. I also tried to print multiple copies of a page, but that leads to the same result.

  I can get the lights extinguish by turning printer off then turn it back on. But it will always print that one front page the same lights begin to Flash. I did six times in a row just to print a six page document.

  I went through all the steps in troubleshooting HP software. Not like searching for cleaning print heads, re-seats cartridges, etc., fragments of paper. Nothing seems to work.

  @Bob_Headrick

  Thank you for your response. However, none of the suggestions could solve the problem. ALTHOUGH the light guide troubleshooting that you provided was close to the solution.

  I came across the solution by reading the PDF manual for the printer. On page 77, it describes the power led + resume light flashing. One of the causes for this using EXPIRES of CARTRIDGES of INK, CARTRIDGES RECHARGEES or NON HP CARTRIDGES.

  WARNING: It is important to note that if your printer is still under warranty, DO NOT DO THIS. HP notes in the manual using this substitution can void the warranty against damage caused by the use of faulty ink cartridges, obsolete or not allowed.

  SOLUTION:

  While the power light and button resume flashing, press and hold the power button and press the button repeat 3 times. This replaces the "apparent" internal error message to use the cartridges you have installed. It may also cause a print cartridge alignment page.

  MY OPINION:

  It is important to note the HP cautioned against it, it FIXED MY PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! I know that the cartridges that I have installed are in agreement. Like many HP owners out there, I take advantage of sales and have stored on cartridges. I guess some may "expires" before you install it. In my view, the idea of "expiring" cartridges also somewhat falls into this column to "How can do us buy more ink?" What kind of market we create where it's cheaper to buy a new printer than to buy a new set of cartridges/toners? BUT it's a slippery slope... let's not go there.
