I have unplugged it numerous times and as soon as I plug it back in, it immediately begins blinking again. I can't get anything to print. Please help!

two things to consider.
1. If the blinking is fast (like more than two blinks per second) then the printer is damaged. Either the main controller board is fried or the carriage/ink controller is damaged.
2. if the blinking is slow ( 1 blink per second) this means that either of your cartridges is busted. remove the black cartridge then close the top cover. If the blinking stops, then the black ink is the culprit. If not, replace the black then remove the other cartridge. THis means that one of your cartridge needs to be replaced.
hope this helps.

Is it the one with a picture of an inkdrop on it? That means you have an empty or jammed ink cartridge. The other one means you are out of paper or have a paper jam.
Fix the problem and try again.
