As reported in other similar issues, I tried to update the Firmware of my HP LaserJet Pro M14-M17 Printer.

The update run through wifi, following the instructions provided by the manual and the update software.

 After restarting the printer, the on/off and cancel button are blinking simultaneously.

The printer can now not be seen anymore, neither if connected through USB cable, nor through WiFi.

I tried to perform the suggested resets (unplugging the power cable and press cancel and power button), but the printer still remains in a non-working status.

 

I've seen from other posts that you may be able to provide additional information.

I am sincerely disappointed with this issue, since the error occurred after carefully following all instruction and instruments officialy provided by HP.

Hi @MPostak,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

We have to perform an NVRAM Reset to unlock the features of the printer/Reset the password. 

 

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

 

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.

  

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi, unfortunately the NVRAM reset does not help...
After a while the "on/off" and "cancel" leds keep blinking simultaneously. 

 

The printer is not detected in windows (I also checked in the device manager) if connected through USB cable.

For this reason, I can not perfrom the firmware update again using the software provided by HP (since there is no printer to be selected in the menu).
