If you’ve connected your Mac to your HP ENVY Inspire printer and notice the blue light blinking, don’t worry—you’re not alone. This blinking light usually indicates that the printer is having a problem, but it can often be fixed easily. Here’s a simple guide to help you get your printer back to working condition.

First, check if the printer is turned on and properly connected. Make sure the power cord is plugged in securely, and press the power button to turn it on. You should see a steady light, not a blinking one. If the light continues to blink, try unplugging the printer from the power source, wait for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on again. This can sometimes reset the printer and clear the blinking light.

Next, examine the connection between your Mac and the printer. If you’re using a wireless connection, make sure your Wi-Fi is working properly. Check the printer’s display screen—if it shows a warning or error, follow the instructions on the screen. If you’re using a USB cable, ensure it’s securely plugged into both the printer and your Mac.

In many cases, blinking blue lights can mean the printer is out of paper, jammed, or needs ink. Open the paper tray and make sure there’s paper available. Clear any paper jams carefully if you see any stuck paper inside. You can also check the ink cartridges; if they’re low or empty, replace them with new ones.

Sometimes, the blinking blue light is caused by a problem with the printer’s network connection. To fix this, restart your router and reconnect your printer to Wi-Fi. On your Mac, go to ‘System Preferences,’ then ‘Printers & Scanners,’ and select your HP ENVY Inspire. Remove the printer from the list, then add it back again. This refreshes the connection and can resolve blinking issues.

If these steps don’t work, updating your printer’s software can help. Visit HP’s official website and download the latest drivers for your model. Installing the most recent software can fix bugs and improve the printer’s stability. After installing updates, restart your printer and Mac, then try printing again.

By following these simple steps—checking power, connection, paper, ink, network, and software—you can usually resolve the blinking blue light problem on your HP ENVY Inspire printer connected to your Mac. If the problem persists after trying everything, contacting HP customer support might be your best next step.
