Having a printer problem
It just stopped working. I have no idea why. It was working a couple weeks ago, but when I tried priniting yesterday, it sounded like it was going to make an attempt and the light was blinking, but it never did. And when I tried it again, it didn't do a single thing.
The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.
Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

What model is it and what lights are blinking? (and steady/blinking/blinking fast/off) Also, do you get an error message? If so, what is it?
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

It's a Hewlett Packard Deskjet 610CL and the lights blinking are the power light and the paper light. Well, they were blinking. They're not anymore. And no error message.

try the following
press on/off multiple times
reinstall (or better yet, uninstall then install) the software
is it set to the correct port? Mine is LTP 1.

Let me suggest something else before you go and reinstall the drivers for it. Whether your printer uses a parallel or USB cable, then do the following:
1. Turn off both the computer and the printer.
2. Unplug the cable from both the computer and printer.
3. Plug it back into both ends again.
4. Turn the printer and computer on again -- in that order.
Does that help?
