Product: HP ColorLaserJet Enterprise M554

Printer delivered today. Unpacked it and got everything plugged up.  Started, went thru a hardware check screen, after that completes it starts an "Initializing" Screen where it proceeds to try to count to infinity.  Printer is on a network that is cryptologically separated from the internet (e,g., unable to reach hp.com).  USB sticks are not an option.  Any suggestions?

Got it to run by disconnecting the ethernet cable during start-up, then reconnecting after.  Haven't successfully connected yet, but at least the printer is now responsive.

If it doesn't initialize fully you can try a cold reset
