Printer Not Working (hp deskjet 3320)

Aug 1, 2005 2:54AM PDT

I was printing a letter, when a page got stuck in my printer (with error on monitor). I took off the back panel, took the paper out, and clicked to start printing again. At this point, my printer was out of ink. I put in a new cartridge, but instead of printing, it has a flashing green light.

How do I correct this?

Concel the print job...
Aug 1, 2005 3:12AM PDT

The printer remembers that a job order was in progress, but that it was interrupted by an error (jammed paper, then no ink). However, it has not realized that the errors have been corrected, and thus the job is still pending (that's why the light's flashing). Try pressing the power button a couple of times and see if it continues to print. If not, click here for HP's troubleshooting guide to a flashing power light. If that doesn't work, click here for instructions on how to cancel the print job. By cancelling the job, the printer should return to a state of readiness, with the green light remaining solid. You can then send the print command again.

Hope this helps,
John

Flashing Green Light on HP Deskjet 3320 Printer
Aug 3, 2005 10:58AM PDT

As originally stated, after a paper blockage (cleared), and putting in a new black cartridge, my printer began flashing a green light and does not print.

I followed the directions (I'm reply to that answer), but the green light is still flashing. The print job was actually cleared last night, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Any other suggestions?

(NT) Printer Not Working (hp deskjet 3320)
Jun 11, 2006 11:44AM PDT

My printer has this message: Printer No Working (hp deskjet 3320) --Pheripherals --CNET Forums.

I don't understand the error message or why my printer isn't working.

The green light is no longer flashing.

Please help!
