Hi, I've got an old HP deskjet 3920 which has just stopped printing. The cartridges are quite new and I've checked all the connections but the green light is just flashing and it won't print. Does anyone have any idea of what I could try to get it printing? Thanks

Hi southken, Here's a list of what could be wrong and I guess others will add to it.
1. Are you getting any fault warnings on your PC?
2. When did you last use the printer? The cartridge heads could have dried and become blocked.
3. Check the wired connection between your PC and the printer.
4. It may be worth re- installing the driver programme.
4. The printer head could have failed - sorry, time to get a new printer!
The HP Deskjet 3920 was my first printer; I see that you can still download a User Manual - it might be worth having a look at that if you haven't already done so.

Actually, I got the problem with HP Deskjet 3920 in that The problem I am unable to print properly I asked the one technique he suggested me once re-install the driver. I did what he said. Now my printer is working very good. If you have any problem with your printer better re-install and check your printer it may work better...

I'm sure you already know this but the green light flashing on my HP means queued printing waiting to start.

Thanks for all your replies, I've tried all the suggestions but nothing has worked. I can't find a driver for windows 8.1 but I think the printer is finished
