buttons and lights The HP Deskjet printer buttons let you turn the printer on and off, cancel a print job, or resume printing. The lights give you visual cues about the state of the printer

** Pressing this button cancels the current print job.

print cartridge status symbol and light **The light above the Print Cartridge Status symbol flashes when a print cartridge is low on ink or incorrectly installed.

power button and light **
The Power button turns the printer on and off. It takes approximately five seconds for the printer to turn on after you press the Power button. The green light above the Power button flashes when printing is in progress. Caution! Always use the Power button on the front of the printer to turn the printer on and off. Using a power strip, surge protector, or a wallmounted switch to turn the printer on and off may cause premature printer failure

1) Close the print head cover, and turn off the printer. While pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press the Power button. (Do not release the buttons. The LED lights in green to indicate that a function is selectable.) 2) While holding the Power button, release the Resume/Cancel button. (Do not release the Power button.) 3) While holding the Power button, press the Resume/Cancel button 3 times, and then release the Power and Resume/Cancel buttons. 4) When the LED stops blinking and lights in green, press the Resume/Cancel button 4 times. Finally press the Power button.

Non-HP cartridges often give troubles in HP printers. Probably the best thing you could do is just use HP cartridges.

we pressed the button for six mississippis. works fine!

Press the feed button. If that doesn't work, turn the printer off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on again.

the print spooler is not letting it print cancel the pending jobs you will be able to print fine keep on cancelling the documents unless the icon shows 0 document pending ....

please reset your printer. turn off your printer, leave it for 30 sec and turn it on again....
If you still have problem try to re install the catridges again, follow below instruction
