I've done everything I can think of..........can anyone help?
I had same problem. If there are no print jobs in query and you've tried powering down the printer and restarting the computer, disconnect the USB cable. If the light is still blinking when you turn the printer on, remove either the black or the color print cartridge, close the cover and if the light is still blinking install the cartridge you took out and remove the other. My black cartridge went bad apparently and when I replaced it, no blinking light.
I can offer a few steps that might help. Try them and let me know if it does the trick.
Turn off the printer.
Turn off the computer that is connected to it.
Take the power cord out of the printer. Keep it out for now.
Start up the computer.
Check under the printers folder to see if there are jobs stuck in the printer que. If there are jobs listed then right click on them and cancel them. If there are no jobs listed then try right clicking on the printer and make sure that it isn't listed as off line. If it is listed as off line, plug the printer back in and power it up. Once it's powered up, check the menu item to mark it as online.
If that doesn't do the trick you can try holding down the power button for a couple of seconds and this should force a test print which might clear things.
Write back and let me know how this solution worked for you.
Thanks.
Are the ink cartridges okay? You might be out of ink. If you know for sure that you aren't out of ink, try removing and replacing the ink cartridges.
There are Vista drivers on the website. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer using correct drivers. Here's a link for the blinking light issue:

Thanks for getting back to me. I did all the above, but no it didn't work. It says it's ready and online but still the light flashes. Printer queue is empty. I can't force a test page either. I'm at a loss.

Yes I've done that as well, and the cartridges are fairly new. I've discovered that when I try to print, there is an error 54 which is a corrupted printer spool but I delete the queue again and still is not working. I've never downloaded the software for this. (printer worked fine by just plugging into new computer) My original CD is not any good for vista which I now have. There are no device downloads to vista for this printer either.
nothing seems to work. Where can I get the software that comes with the printer?
