HP printer attention light

An HP attention light means the printer needs user action. Paper, cover, cartridge, or queue state is usually the cause.

Check in this order

  1. Check paper tray and cover.
  2. Check cartridge seating.
  3. Look for a message in HP Smart.
  4. Clear the queue and test one page.

When to stop

Stop repeating print jobs if the same code returns after one clean restart and the physical checks are clear. Repeated jobs can hide the original failure in the queue.
