Hello NickiTee,
Welcome to the HP Forums! :smileyhappy:
I understand your Photosmart D6160 is flashing the ink light. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow the manual. On page 88, there is valid troubleshooting steps to try and resolve this issue!
Also, make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
