Can you please specify both the brand and the model of your printer?

Brothers

Thanks.
Try to restore power to the machine

  • Remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds.
  • Press and hold the ON/OFF button down, and then insert the power cord back into the Brother machine.
  • Do not release the ON/OFF button until the machine has been powered on completely or after 15 seconds.

That made it shut down even faster
Going to move it to another outlet

It's now on filtered power. Behavior has changed. Paper light solid, wifi blink slow, power blink fast, ink orange blink fast
Now it is making noises

Since ink is now initialized wifi activation should happen. Let's see
Working!
