Color LaserJet starts to print and then get stuck in a loop and does not print

[JBH1234]

Hi everyone.  I have an HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP and it has been a beast of a printer for years.

Today I printed several documents and then on my next print the printer got stuck in a loop.  Here is what happens:

• I click print on my program and send the document to the printer
• The printer then starts the print process, I can hear the gears turning and things spinning up just like normal
• Then after about 5 seconds the process stops and then about half a second later starts over again
• This continues to happen, starts to spin - stops - starts over, in an endless loop until I hold the cancel button or turn the printer off.

Here is what I have tried so far:

• Ran HP Printer Doctor - it said everything was fine and then when printing the test page it failed to print (cycle above)
• Unplugged the printer and plugged it back in
• Made sure the print cue was clear
• Used different paper trays.  My default is Tray 3 but emptied it and put paper in Tray 2.  Then emptied both 2 and 3 and put paper in Tray 1.  In all three cases the same thing kept happening
• Opened the back door and looked for broken parts or stuck paper and saw nothing
• Opened the toner tray and took all the colors out, made sure they were not stuck or broken or jammed

Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Does it copy, does it print from the printers reports menu?
