Kingsley, Make sure you have removed all the packaging from the machine. Check inside the the cover etc. Uninstall the printer and Unplug the printer from the computer and from the electrical socket. Wait a few minutes plug in the printer don't hook the printer to the computer yet. Printer should let you install the cartridges. Download the latest driver package from HP and re-install the software and it will teel you when to hookup the printer. Good Luck, Tim

How to reset samsung M3320nd

To reset a Samsung M3320nd printer, you can follow these steps:

Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Press and hold the "Stop" button on the control panel of the printer.
While holding the "Stop" button, plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Continue holding the "Stop" button until the printer's status LED turns on.
Release the "Stop" button and wait for the printer to finish its initialization process.
Once the initialization process is complete, the printer should be reset to its factory defaults.

Note: Resetting the printer will erase all the settings, including the network settings. So, you will need to reconfigure the printer settings after the reset, including the network settings if you want to use the printer on a network.

HL-5140 model. the paper light is flashing and

Hi Patricia,

Try to do a factory reset on the server.

Whilst the printer is turned off, press and hold the GO button as you plug the printer on to the socket. Notice that all lights on the printer will turn on as well. Continue pressing the go button until the light for the toner goes up and once its up, release the button. Next, hold down the Go button again until the "Yellow Status" light turns on once on, release the Go button. Wait for the printer to initialize and see if the error went away.

Hope this helps.

Great tip guys saved me a lot of money. cheers me dears clive.
