A flashing yellow exclamation point on your HP printer typically indicates an error or warning state that needs attention. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
Identify Your Printer Model
Different HP printers (e.g., DeskJet, Smart Tank, ENVY) use different light codes. Please check your printer model (usually on the front or back of the device).
Understand the Meaning of the Yellow Exclamation Light
The yellow exclamation mark generally means:
- Paper jam
- Low or empty ink
- Cartridge error
- Cover open
- Network/Wi-Fi issue
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Try these general steps first:
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug it from the power source.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Plug it back in and turn it on.
Check for Paper Jams:
- Open all access doors.
- Remove any jammed paper carefully.
- Close all doors securely.
Check Ink Cartridges:
- Open the cartridge access door.
- Reseat the cartridges.
- Make sure they are not empty or expired.
- Clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth.
Check the Control Panel or HP Smart App:
- If connected to a computer or mobile device, open the HP Smart App.
- It may show a specific error code or message.
