Zebra printer gk420d green light keeps flashing green.cant print on it.

I'm not familiar with Zebra, but usually the flashing is a warning indication that the cartridge needs replacing, or that the cartridge is not one made by the manufacturer. Check with Zebra if their cartridges contain a chip which detects a 3td party product.

The printer will not work. The green bottom

The Print Cartridge Status light flashes when one or both of the print cartridges is improperly installed or malfunctioning.

1. Open the printer's top cover.
2. Remove and re insert both the black and colour print cartridges and try printing again.

If the problem persists then you need to replace either the black or the colour print cartridge.

CANON I350 DOES NOT PRINT

Green and yellow is a service error, but it flashes a longer green, and then the green yellow flashes, and a longer green again. You need to count the number of yellow-greens in between the longer green flashes, to know the error code.

Constant blinking green light - will not print anything - possible cartridge mismatch issue

Normally these machine will report an error in the form of a flash code. Green then a number of orange flashed then pause and repeat. Count the number of orange flashes, then go on line to google (or whatever your preferred search engine) and type
canon x orange error code (where x is the number of orange flashes). This should tell you WHAT the problem is and from there you should be able to fix it. I suspect you have a foreign object error in which case have a look at each end of the carriage path for a piece of paper. It is also likely that given the age of your machine that you will have a 5 flash code meaning the printhead has died, in which case it's time for a new machine.
