You either need to kook it up to a PC with the HP Drivers/toolbox installed or decode the light pattern. If you have HP drivers, (not the generic drivers that came with Windows), then you will probably get an error message on the PC telling you what's wrong. The Windows drivers might give you the printer status, but I can't guaranty it. Reading attention-needed error codes Follow the steps below to determine the printer attention code and the issue that is causing it. Prepare to write down a three-digit code. Press the RESUME button on the printer once. NOTE: If a page prints when the RESUME button is pressed, examine the page. If the page illustrates the printer's ink cartridges with ink level indicators, then one or more of the ink cartridges is empty or expired and needs replacement. The attention code may still be determined using the steps below. All of the lights on the printer will light up briefly. Count the number of times the POWER light flashes. Count the number of times the ATTENTION light flashes. Count the number of times the ACTIVITY light flashes. All of the lights will light up briefly again, then the lights will return to their prior flashing condition (POWER light on and ATTENTION light flashing). NOTE: If needed, Steps 2 through 7 can be repeated. Combine the three numbers to establish the printer attention code. For example, if the POWER light flashed four times, the ATTENTION light flashed two times, and the ACTIVITY light did not flash at all, the printer attention code would be 420.
