I have the above printer

Yesterday, I began to print a document, and didn't hear it printing. I looked at it and ALL the LED lights are on, yet not flashing. Any ideas?

Most likely the fuser unit isn't warming up try shut down and restart of the printer but normally replacement fuser required.

Thanks J

Is it possible to print borderless in my HP Deskjet 2060 K110 printer, i can't find the option printing borderless in win 7. please help thanks!

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=4157334&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=4157434&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093

The above link will take you to the latest software and driver download for Windows 7. In general most digital printers do not print border-less. There are some out there that will. There is mostly a white border that surrounds your print document in the digital world. Ive read through your printers documentations and didn't see any options for a border-less print. I hope this answers your question.
Thank you,

I tried to print a route map from MapQuest, but it didn't print. I tried to cancel the printing, but it's been deleting since yesterday and been blocking any other document I tried to print

Restart both your printer and your computer. It might finish the print job after you restart the printer and yes it will block any other print jobs.

You'll need to cancel printing by:

While printing press the Go button for about 4 seconds until all the LEDs light up. The Ready and Paper LEDs
will flash as the job is being cancelled.

The yellow light blinks and it won't print

I also started having problems with my HP 870Cse when I began using refilled cartridges and had ink leakage (cartridge contacts corrupted). Check for this problem. If so, remove cartridges and gently clean the spillage. Then try using HP brand cartridges and see if this doesn't remedy the problem.

Dell printer 1700

First unplug power cord and plug back after 10 mins.
If problem persists, then it is probably a toner error, if the toner is nearly finished. In this case you will see the led flashing only when is printing. Sooner or later the printer will start printing blank or faded pages and you will need to change toner
When is not toner, with same symptoms as above, it can be drum error, in this case printer will keep printing but shows flashing light, at a certain point you will need to change drum kit.

If light flashes and printer does not print, then it is either paper jam inside, or one of errors above at final stage, or one of the door not well closed (check them all), or printer faulty (fuser, heads mechanics etc.), in this last case call service.

The printer apear to be dead!

Buttons and lights on the printer Two buttons and three lights are located on the front of an HP Deskjet printer.
  • The lights tell when the printer is working or when it needs attention.
  • The buttons help control the printer.
Buttons and lights Purpose c00123886.jpg POWER button and light Push the POWER button to turn the printer off and on. When lit, the light shows that the printer is turned on. c00123889.jpg RESUME button and light The light blinks when there is a problem with paper. When the problem is corrected, press the button. c00123892.jpg Print cartridge light The light blinks when there is a problem with a print cartridge. When the problem is corrected and the top cover is closed, the light will stop blinking. Troubleshooting blinking printer lights Blinking lights Reason c00123895.jpg

All lights are off. The printer is off (asleep).

Press the POWER buttonc00123886.jpg to turn the printer on.

The printer should turn on automatically when a print job is sent to it. c00123898.jpg

The POWER (top) light is on. The printer is idle.

The printer is ready to print a document. c00123900.jpg

The POWER (top) light is blinking. The printer is busy printing.

Allow enough time to print. When a document has many fonts or graphics or uses complex color such as a color photo, it takes longer to begin printing. c00123902.jpg

The PRINT CARTRIDGE (bottom) light is blinking. Possible causes:

  • The front cover is open. Make sure the front cover is completely closed.
  • The print cartridge is missing. Make sure the print cartridge has been installed correctly.
  • The print cartridge is broken or incompatible. Lift the front cover, and wait for the print-cartridge cradle to slide out. Check the part numbers on the print cartridge:


Black: 51645A

Color: C1823D,

If the print cartridges are compatible and correctly installed, they may be defective. Try replacing the print cartridges.

If none of the above suggestions fix the problem, and, if the error message still occurs, it may be a hardware failure. Call the HP Customer Support Center.
