HP PhotoSmart 7260 InkJet Printer Logo
Posted on Oct 09, 2017

HP photosmart 7260 red flashing power light after job does not engage. Looks like paper does not feed. Roller does not pull paper in. Occassionly will work with single sheet. Multiple sheets always do not work. Roller turns but does not pull sheet. Printer does print when I get an occasional single sheet to engage. Otherwise red power light flashes.

SOURCE: Words Copied Multiple Times

It will be one of two things Drum cart or fuser, from your description it sounds like the drum, it has a rubber blade on it that wipes old image from it. They wear and dont perform properly. Replace drum

The only other likely possibilty is worn fuser roller (hot bit at rear
) To find if it is fuser or drum stop print mid way and remove cart to see print, if image is bad before print has gone threw fuser(wipes off) then it is drum, if print is ok pre fuser then it is fuser roller causing prob.

SOURCE: Problem printing multiple pages on one sheet!

This is not the fault of the printer but the fault of word.

The way I did it successfully was as follow:
File > Page Setup > Layout = Landscape (sounds like you have already done this)

In the print dialoge, instead of OK, click Properties. On the layout tab, select landscape and below that select pages per sheet = 4 and then click ok... Then click OK to print.

SOURCE: HP paper jam

That is usually caused by the paper feed rollers being cover with paper dust. Take a clean cotton pad and alcohol and clean the rollers :turninig each roller as you clean it. if it has a rear dor, open it to get better access to the rollers.

SOURCE: Printer prints all pages on one sheet of paper

what application are you printing from? also, can you do a print preview to see if there are more than one page? if that works, then your printer mechanism is not following the driver information from the print queue manager.

I have an HP Photosmart 7260 printer that my cousin gave to me used so I have no manual. I've replaced both ink cartridges and am trying to print. When I send the print job, a red light begins to flash...

Can you see any symbol when the red light flashes? or any message pops up on your computer? Since your problem's description isn't very specific, I am unable to assume myself. If cartridges are replaced with new ones and the problem persists, it's possible that there's paper jam or carriage jam or contacts on the printer is bad/dirty. While the machine is On, lift up the front access door and try moving the carriage manually. Please follow this LINK to clean the contacts.
Please post back with more specific details so that I can help you better. Good Luck.

Printer cradle jam

I have a hp photosmart 5500 that had the same symptoms. I am no expert, but the first thing I did was unplug the power and UBS cord. while the cradle door is open, you can see that there are three mechanisms that push up to the cartridges from the bottom. On my printer, those were mis-aligned. I was able to remove each of the 56, 57 & 58 cartridges with some effort without breaking any of the hardware (but it was difficult. Somehow, I was able to push the set of mechanisms back down into their lowest position, put the cartridges back into place, and then plugged both cords back in. This seemed to do the trick. Be careful to have a bottle of nail polish remover handy to clean up all the ink that you will get on your fingers or screwdrivers that you will use to push the mechanism back into place. Have it ready beforehand!!!

Hp 7260 will not pick up paper

Yea, I have the same problem. The only answer I can think of is to never buy another HP printer. I've had nothing but trouble with this piece of garbage!
