Top light on printer blinks all the time, and will not print. Any ideas how to fix this? -

Its a Hewlett Packard Desk Jet 612c. The top yellow light is blinking, and I can t get anything to print. The ink cartridges are in the center position. I am not out of ink or paper. Anybody know how to fix this?

HP ink cartridges have built in chips that deactivate the ink cartirdges after a few months, forcing you to buy a new one. There was a lawsuit about this years ago, and HP claimed it was to quot;prevent refilling.quot; The only thing you can do now is buy a new cartridge.

the only other alternates are, it needs a service, it is jammed or it is not compatiple with something? plattens you can clean with lint free cloths and metho, same with rest of feeder wheels, clean out dust with compressed air. Does the top light have a name? It may point you tp prob. Download a manual from HP site?

Control panel gt; Printers gt; Properties gt; Run cleaner - If your inks are full this should clean and move them - Or read the instructions in programs gt; printer gt; manual -
