Anyways, now whenever I boot up, just at the end of the boot up messages, the green light on the printer flashes once, then the orange light starts blinking continuously. The printer is basically unresponsive at this point. I can turn it off and on (waiting for up to 1 minute between) and it still goes right back to the blinking orange light.I have an HP 970Cxi with an orange light too. I have had a problem like yours and it was due to an error in printing the last job. Look in the print queue (K; Control Centre; System; Printing Manager; select your printer; hit the jobs tab in the lower half) and you might see a job stalled there indicating 'Error'. Every time you reset the printer, this same job gets re-presented.
The clue is to remove, cancel, or hold this job. In my case, the right click, remove was ignored. Printing of subsequent jobs proceeded however, ignoring the stalled job, and after a renboot, the queue was clear again. If I am right, and you cannot remove this job, it may be necessary to do a little detective work to find where the actual print queue is (/var/???), and physically delete the file which is the bad job.
