If your HP DeskJet Plus 4100 printer is printing a test page but the lights are flashing, it means that there is an issue with the printer. The specific issue will depend on which lights are flashing. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Power light flashing: The power light may be flashing if the printer is not receiving power properly. Check to make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the printer and the wall outlet. If the power cord is damaged, replace it with a new one.

Ink cartridge lights flashing: The ink cartridge lights may be flashing if the ink cartridges are not installed correctly or if they are low on ink. Make sure that the ink cartridges are properly installed and that they are not low on ink. If the ink cartridges are low on ink, replace them with new ones.

Paper out light flashing: The paper out light may be flashing if the printer is out of paper. Load paper into the printer and make sure that it is properly aligned.

Paper jam light flashing: The paper jam light may be flashing if there is a paper jam in the printer. Clear the paper jam by following the instructions in the printer's manual.

Error code light flashing: The error code light may be flashing if there is a general error with the printer. The specific error code will be displayed on the printer's control panel. Consult the printer's manual to troubleshoot the error code.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the lights are still flashing, you may need to contact HP customer support for further assistance.
