How to clear an hp laser jet m1217nfw that is stuck on initializing

printer flashing and stuck on initializing

If the unit is locked during initialization, then it might be something in the firmware of the printer.  Before you perform a reset, make sure that all the troubleshooting steps are completed.  I'll link the document to troubleshoot a non-responsive printer below.

The printer will not turn on or respond

If the steps do not help, then follow the reset of the information that I will send you via private message.  Before this type of reset, please read Bob_Headrick wire on the reset of the printer.  This thread can be found here.

  • Laser Jet Pro M177fw: Printer stuck in the boot when powered.

    the devive won't initialize mode on its own. I can press the home button to access this screen, but nothing works from there. It will not print a configuration report and I can't find a sticker with the serial number anywhere on this unit. HP support isn't much help without the serial number.  Help!

    Hi @GaryW229737 ,

    I see that the printer is stuck in initialization mode and you cannot find the serial number of the printer to provide that assistance from HP. I would like to help you today.

    Typically the serial number is located on the back of the printer, or the printer, there should be a sticker with barcode with listed there.

    What happened before this error message? (paper jam, paper changed a toner)

    I have provided a few steps to try to see if we can solve this problem.

    Disconnect the USB/network/FAX and turn the printer on standalone.

    Check and remove any material packing inside the printer and toner.

    Do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
    Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
    This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    If the problem persists, perform a supply line by unplugging the power cord at the back of the printer and maintaining the power button down for 30 seconds and in the case of a power switch keep the power switch for 30 seconds before reconnecting it to power.

    Update the firmware of the printer. Drivers for MFP HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw.

    I can send a private message with some one more step to try.
    In the forum next to your handle name simply click on the envelope to see.

    How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)

    Please let me know the results.

    Good day!

  • How can I remove a 64 MB file that is stuck in my Outlook Express to send

    The file has been blocked for more than 2 weeks now in my Outbox.  I use Outlook express.

    Check: File | Work offline and then try to remove it from the Outbox. If this does not work, create a new Outbox.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer.

    With OE closed, find the Outbox.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

  • HP Laser Jet MFP M127fw Pro: How can I enable send/receive faxes "On" or "OFF"?

    I just bought and installed an HP Laser Jet MFP M127fw Pro and I am really impressed so far! However, I can't figure out how to activate the fax answer simply 'on' or 'off', which is my preferred way of handling. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Hey @BWC3,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

    I understand that you're looking to configure the settings of your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw fax.  I would like to help.

    Here's what I recommend:

    • In the front panel of your printer, press Setup key
    • Touch Fax Setup
    • Touch basic settings
    • Tap Answer Mode
    • Here you can choose either Manual or Automatic.  'Manual' selected you are essentially turning the fax answer capacity off and "Automatic" would naturally be the setting 'on '.

    Let me know if you need help - I'm always happy to help you.

    Have a great weekend!

  • HP Laser Jet MFP M127fn Pro: How to send a fax using speed dial?

    I have a new HP Laser Jet MFP M127fn Pro: how to send a fax using speed dial, I entered already numbers in the address book.

    I'm embarrassed to say that I spent several hours trying to get the speed dial to work on a M127fn.  It turns out that there really no speed dial.  That's the conclusion of at least a HP tech that actually used the machine.  Another tech was able to describe a way to fax a phonebook entry, but it is quite too complicated to be called a speed dial.

    [1] press the button settings (key).

    [2] press the right arrow to access the phone book.

    [3] press OK button.

    [4] use the right or left buttons to reach the desired phone book entry.

    [5] press the OK button to reveal the label for the entry, or "empty" if it is not set.

    [6] press the OK button if the element is set to display the fax or dialing options.

    [7] press FAX to initiate a fax to this phone book entry.

    My users find it much easier to have their phone numbers pasted on the machine where they can connect looking them to instead scroll through menus, for the right option.

    It seems that there is some sort of disconnect between hardware, firmware, and technical writers on this machine, because this ancient feature has been neglected, and the user guide is left to sputter on the issue.

  • How to get a hp 4600 Color Laser jet print on a vista or Windows 7 64 - bit OS PC which does not have a parallel port connection?

    My hp 4600 color Laser Jet uses a parallel cable to connect to a Windows PC. When I had XP as the OS it worked fine. But now after the upgrade to Vista or Windows 7 64-bit OS it will not work and my PC does not even recognize it when it is plugged into the PC with the parallel to USB cable that worked so well before. So, what should I do to get the PC to recognize the Hp 4600 and have it printed again as before? (My first plan is to try to get the printer to work by hooking up through Wireless. Does anyone know if it will work? I'll answer my own question, if it does. Wish me luck! (Thank you!)

    According to the HP support site, there are drivers available for Vista and Windows 7 If you're lucky it. Download the appropriate drivers for your computers. According to the information of product from HP, this printer can be connected directly to the network by an ethernet cable. I don't see where it has wireless capability, but in any case ethernet is preferable for printer connections if possible.

    Connect the printer directly to your router or switch connected to your router and assign a static IP address outside the range the router DHCP. Then, install the drivers that you got from the HP website for your operating system.
