[Rolan-YIM]

LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP - is switched on enters Initialization loop and does not come to Ready/OK Status.

Hard factory reset attempted with no luck.  Printer remains in same loop.  Currently Printer is not connected to computer or network.

Any ideas?

This solution does not work as the printer does not reach ready mode and the firmware cannot be transmitted to the printer since the loop persists

Have you tried the following solution?

Try the following solution:

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the Right Arrow and Cancel buttons.
3. While holding these buttons turn on the printer. The printer returns to Ready status.

Do not hesitate to contact us in case of need.

Best regards,

I tired this option.  It asks you for the language, then country then it re-enters into the initialization loop and does not reach the ready status.  Any more ideas?
