Toot

Written by DankeyKang on 2025-01-28 at 22:25

Brand new HP printer acting funky out of the box. I wired it in, configured WiFi connection, then unplugged the ethernet cable. The WiFi light started blinking, but I expected it to go stable after a few seconds - the connection config was successful and saved.

So I try power cycling the device. It doesn't seem to respond to panel button presses until maybe my third time pressing on Power. I give it a sec to think, then press power again. The power light starts blinking, no noise, and no WiFi light. Weird.

I pull the power plug, reconnect the ethernet cable, power it back up, and it comes back to life, although slower than would be expected.

I figure maybe there's a firmware bug, so I make sure the date and time is correct before checking for and installing the latest firmware available.

So far so good, until...

The printer reboots, makes the usual boot noises, but that was at least 5 minutes before I started writing this post and it's still just sitting there with a blinking power light.
