I've changed the ink cartridges and now the green light just blinks and the printer doesn't print. It's an HP D2360. I have unplugged and restarted, cleaned the contacts on the cartridges (not HP ones ,but new). Paper is OK, lid is down, nothing in the queue to print...

Possibility cartridge print head dry.

Solution 1:
Do a clean process cartridge automatically. Press START - Control Panel - Printers and Faxes - HP Deskjet d2360 right click and select Printing Preferences - Select the Color tab - select Printer Services - select Clean cartridge, wait for the cleaning process is completed - Perform Test print. If the print test results, has good graphics, press Finish. If the graph is not clear or drop out, repeat the cleaning process once again.

Solution 2:
1. Open the cover printer, cartridges will move to the middle position.
2. Remove the cartridge (be careful, do not touch the element cartridges or print head by hand), then stick the tip cartridge (print head) to clean water
3. Then, attach the print head to a tissue paper. If there is a tissue paper used in ink (black cartridges, black block lines, and color cartridges, three color red yellow blue lines), means the flow of ink to the print head is normal. If the tissue paper no trace of ink, attach back into the water, repeat the above process.
4. After process is complete no.3, clean the cartridges with a tissue paper (careful, do not touch the element cartridges or print head by hand, because it will damage the cartridge). After cartridge clear of the water, insert the cartridges into printer.

try the following
1.power on your peinter
2.while press and hold the power button ,open and close the top cover times.

printer pick the paper and print the test page and alignment pattern for black and color.
if any of the black or color alignment pattern is not print ,then u have to change the cartridge accordingly.

It is blinking because something is wrong.
Turn the printer on.
Lift the lid that covers the print-head.
The print-head will slide to some position.
Look for 'v' markings on the case, where the print-head stops moving.
That V will point to the ink-cartridge that needs to be replaced.
Remove & replace that ink-cartridge.
Close the lid.
Look for GREEN lights.

The ink solidifies right behind the micro printing nozzles. The only way to attempt to rectify this is to dip the print face into some warm (not hot) water for a minute or two, and dry after wards. If the cartridge recovers, Yippee, if it doesn't, replace.
Common problem. Be thankful it isn't a Canon or Epson, which entails replacing a seriously expensive 'print head'.

that is because ur head of ur printing cartridge is damaged.

remove ur cartridges black as well as color
n install only black cartridge n check d blinking of lights on ur printer if it doesn't blinks it's mean ur black cartridge is OK but ur blinking of light on ur printer is same it's mean ur head of black cartridge is damaged
after this process remove the black one cartridge and install the color one cartridge n check d blinking of lights on ur printer if it doesn't blinks it's mean ur color cartridge is OK but ur blinking of light on ur printer is same it's mean ur head of color cartridge is damaged
now take a dry cotton cloth n gently clean ur cartridges head install both cartridges on ur printer n check ur blinking light on ur printer that will work only if u r too lucky other wise u have to purchase a one cartridge.

It is problem in mechanical.May be any paper stuck or any sensor displace.So you need service your printer.Keep your mind green lid blinking mean printer busy.also check printer black cartridge.

Try to restart computer first then printer.If not help reinstall the drivers.

Hi,

in this printer only one LED present that blinks and two kinds of blinking one slow and other fast blinking

So if slow blinking inyour printer then this may be cartridge error, if you are are using refilled ink cartridge so please change change that one.

and if fast blinking in your printer then you cannot do anything.

in last go to AN Authorised service centre(to know the address of AN Authorised service centre in your city please visit at http://www.hp.com ).

thanks
