If by referring to the left drip light you mean the bottom left light; this is the indicator light for the color ink cartridge:
Left print cartridge light blinks, Power light on. Tri-color print cartridge is damaged or missing.
? Reinstall the print cartridge. If the error persists, replace the print cartridge.
? You can still print with one cartridge


it is possible that once the computer and printer are communicating that the error messages could also be resolved by running the printer diagnostic program.


If your computers do not recognize the printer, uninstall the driver, if you had installed a specific driver, and then go to the site below to download a driver for your operating system and specific printer:

Hp 1315v all-in-one printer will not recognize cartridge. Does anyone know how to bypass the coding that tells it to not recognize the cartridge?
This page addresses what to do if you get different blinking lights on the printer. Match up the blinking light on this page with the light on your computer. Then click the plus sign to expand the page and view the solutions. The solutions for blinking cartridge light are not easily pasted here and I can't bookmark to that solution.

Blinking Lights

One thing to keep in mind with ink cartridge problems is that the cartridge has a warranty as well. You might consider checking back with HP using the warranty on your cartridge.

Ink indicator keeps on blinking even with new ink cartridge.
The blinking ink light means that the printer does not recognize one of the ink cartridges. Power the printer off, pull out the power cord, wait for awhile, replug and turn the printer on. If the light no longer blinks, ok. If not, try installing another cartridge pair if you have them available - even if they are old used ones. If the ink light continues to blink with different cartridges or if you don't have any different cartridges, old or new, you have a dilemma. Do you want a new printer or do you want to continue to chase this problem. To chase this problem, get new cartridges and install them (half the price of a new printer). If that works your set, but if not you need to have your printer serviced which is doubtful that it is worthwhile doing so.

Check paper/Check print cartridge light blinks even though I have done both. Also keeps grabbing a sheet of paper and pulling it halfway through the machine. Will not print?
The HP Customer Care site says that if th check paper and check print cartridge lights are blinking, it is most likely that the carriage assembly, which holds the ink cartridges has stalled against the left side of the printer.

HP includes extensive troubleshooting instruction for correcting this problem at the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00095908&lc=en&dlc=&cc=us&product=374568

Hope this helps... their support site has been very helpful to me in on several

occasions.

hi!

Try to cancel your document in the printers menu even if you restart the pc or the printers memory stores the previous command.

1.The idea is that printers has its own memory unless you cancel the document that you print.
