    HP C5280 Printer
    I have the above printer and when I switch off after about two hours it will swich on again and flashing lights appear. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programme and updated all the drives but the problem seems to be in the printer itself. The printers works OK otherwise. Can anyone shed some light on the problem

    So you're problem is that your printer turns itself on after a few hours?

    When it turns on does it seem to calibrate or clean itself?

    Hi
    Thanks for your assistance however I found out at last what was causing the problem. I very unwisely purchased two non HP ink cartridges and although these worked OK however tney must have interfered with the software.

    I have now purchased two HP cartridges and I had to uninstall the software and install it again and the problem seem to have disappeared.

    I hope this will help if there are future questions about this sort of problem
