The appearance of the icon tells you the status of the printer:

When the memory card icon is green, a memory card is inserted in the printer and the printer is ready to access the files stored on the memory card.

When the memory card icon is gray, a memory card is not inserted in the printer.

When a red “x” appears on the memory card icon, the connection between the printer and the computer has been lost. To print from the computer you must re-establish communication. For information about re-establishing communication, see the HP Photosmart Printer Help.
