See if this works let me know if it does.  It is like a secret handshake.

 Remove all paper from the printer

1. On the control panel, touch the Home and Back buttons in this sequence:

Home button once>>>>Back button twice>>>>>Home button once
1 Open the ink cartridge access door, and then close it. A Load Paper message displays on the control panel display, and the printer begins initializing.

2. If the initialization does not begin, repeat steps a and b until the initialization begins.

3. Follow the prompts on the control panel display to complete initialization
