SOURCE: Green Light Flashes

I'm not sure what the problem is but try this.
Turn your printer off, wait for a few minutes, turn it back on and then run the "self-cleaning" process.

If that doesn't work try this:
Turn it off, take cartridges out, turn it back on, turn it off again put the cartridges back in and turn it on.

If none of that helped reply with more info.

SOURCE: HP DeskJet 722c orange ink light flashing

Try changing the color cartridge. Also it is a good idea to clean the electrical contacts if it looks dirty.Use slightly damp(use water only) q-tips .
Hope this helps

SOURCE: error message 0xf0af8005 and green and orange flashing lights

Please follow these instructions to reset the printer. If that doesn't work, try again but wait longer before reconnecting. Otherwise, here's the home support page for your machine. You can look up the meaning of the flashing lights there as well.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

SOURCE: cartridge light flashes ink drags across wide

The user manual says that indicator is for a bad ink cartridge.
But it doesn't say which one (so you have to check them all).
And it doesn't say why.
It recommends removing each, checking the contacts, and reinstalling the.
Otherwise is says replace the bad cartridge.

Reset. Orange light blinks several times. Then Green. Then orange several times, then... on and on. Cannot reset. All ink cartridges have ink.

count the number of orange flashes in between the green light. two flashes = out of paper, 3=paper jam, 4=empty ink tank, 6=print head not installed, 7=print head defective, 8=waste ink tank is almost full

Power light (or Alarm and Power lights) alternate(s) between orange and green After long green flash, there are 2 or more alternating orange and green flashes. There may also be a Service Error message on...

Try resetting the printer by unplugging the printer from the power source for 5 mins. and they make sure ink is full and paper is loaded and not jammed. If not resolved carefully remove all ink cart from machine without touching and ink cart metal contacts, reseat the ink cart and reset and the printer.

Canon i250, black text won't print, but ok with nozzle check

Canon i250. Instructions on this website solved the problem of flashing green and orange lights, but now the black won't print. Changed ink cartridges, but still no print. Did a diagnostic nozzle check, and the black DID print. What do I do now?

The printer flashes orange light five times, and green once

Probably your waste ink counter. Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once.
1. Start with printer OFF
2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER
3. Release RESUME
4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER
5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving.
6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER

0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960)
1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print
2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise
3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter.

This also applies to the i550, i560, i950, i960
