When I turn it on after a few seconds the "on", "check paper", check print cartage", "black start copy" and "color start copy" lights all blink. The print head never moves in this printer even when I open the print head access door but the scanner moves. I think that its in a safe/demo mode. I had a electronics repair shop back in the 90's. I know how to replace parts and work on electronics safely without getting zapped. I am just terrible at troubleshooting.

It appears that you may have purchased a dud printer. The manual claims "The device has a fatal error."

I have a HP PSC 1410 printer. All of a sudden in the morning when i
turned on the printer all the lights on the printer started blinking
and keeps blinking. E appears on the copies LED. What could be the
problem. I have even switched off the printer and turned back on but
the problem remains.
Could be a number of things. I would try looking in printer settings first. Click on your printer, go to properties and check all settings, it may be set to do this or similar. If no go, try uninstalling and reinstalling it, or just turning it off and unplugging, replugging and turn on again can often reset irregulariites. Also try resetting default printer settings too.
