Help please with a printer/scanner

Hey everyone!

I have a HP Deskjet f4280 and everything was fine untill i needed to change my ink, now i cant get it to work! i only have the black cartridge not the colour one, but i was hoping i could still use my scanner, but no its not letting me use the scanner either, any ideas would be appreciated


Many Thanks

Ok so.. It was working.. You changed your ink.. And now.. What happens when you click print????

Probably silly but hope you installed the correct ink cartridge

Go to Printers and Faxes

Right click on your printer

Go to properties

Services

Perform the two maintenance tasks there - Aligning and cleaning.

Hello Katie and welcome to SevenForums.

The lights are blinking because your device has noticed there's something wrong or missing. Did you throw your used color cartridge away? You could try a fix by inserting your used color cartridge. Blinking should stop and you should be able to scan until you can replace the cartridge with a new one. Works with HP Photosmarts, should work with HP Deskjet.

Then you'll need to get a new color cartridge in there, or else force the printer to ignore the error message so you can use it.

And for future reference, don't throw away the old until the new one is in there.
