Hi , my printer hp deskjet d4260 does not print. There is ink and paper in the printer but whenever i try to print something it doesnt work. When i did chang the ink it still printed the paper for alignment but never the documents I wanted to print..

The manufacturers removed the option long time ago due to the printheads and muzzles which get screwed up while printing with one or more empty cartridges. here are some explanations and tutorials on how to actually print with an empty cartridge:
How to print without black ink

U must be using HP74, 75 cartridge for your printer.

There are few reasons you are getting black and white (gray)...for printing job.

1. No color ink.
- If you are out of color ink.. that's what it happens.
- check your ink level through control panel.

2. Printer set up. (I think this is pretty much the reason you are not getting color)
- First, check your printer setting.
If they are on gray scale mode, pls chang to color.
How? when you click the print (through file manu), there are option for control panel on your screen. Click that option and will see some detail option you can choose from size, print quality.
Among the print quality option, pls choose, color mode instead of gray mode. That's it.

If you would like to save money, try refill kit by "ROADINK".
Not only they are easy, but also the printing quality is good.
For your better understanding pls check out my youtube video.
And will see how easy ink refill can be done.

There are four possible causes for the orange arrow button to blink
1. Out of paper
2. Paper jam
3. Ink cartridge not install correctly or incorrect type
4. Printer stalled

Are you using HP's genuine cartridge and paper? Both have been designed together to work, maximizing the ink flow for efficiency and reliability. If you use a third party paper or ink, you will have a problem 50% of the time. Sometime you'll get lucky. HP recommends you use the genuine stuff, not just because they want your business, but because they want your printer to work.

Try to remove the ink cartridge and reinstall.

Have you tried the "clean cartridges" button in the Printer Htoolbox? Also,does your color cartridge have ink? If the "clean cartridge" option doesn't work, take the cartridge out of the printer, put a small amount of hot water on the paper towel and push the paper towel up against the cartridge ink jets. This often opens up blocked ink jet ports. Dry the cartridge with a dry paper towel and put it back in and give it a try. You don't need a lot of water, just enough to get the ink flowing. Hopefully this will help. Good luck!

if light is constantly flashing, printer is not print.
printer on and all papers out in printer and light is always on than paper in and print.

That is absolutely not true. The printer you have uses integrated print head cartridges. This means every time you replace the ink cartridges you are replacing the print heads. Throw out the dried up ink cartridges and buy new ones. Your printer takes the HP 74 black and HP 75 color cartridges. There are XL versions of these cartridges that hold more ink and are a better value.

You could try to do a power down reset and reinstall your cartridges.
First turn off computer
remove the 2 ink cartridges,
press power to turn off printer
unplug printer from ac outlet
wait 3 minutes
plug back printer
turn on printer
wait until printer stop
reinstall both cartridges
turn on computer
