Thank you so much, it seems to work with the full-reset, just another question, on this menu can i reset the number of pages printed, return to a older firmware or reset the number of cartridges used?

How can I perform a full reset for my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 909a. 

I have a start-up loop on my printer and among other things I tried a semi reset but that didn't fix my prob.

I touched the Okay button to continue but, printer iddle for hours(Checking printer.this process might take several minutes). Priner never comes back to normal display menu. Can you Please help me to find a solution to this problem. It will be greatly Appreciated. Thanks. Ricardo Marmol.

I have an 8500A Plus.

The screen is dead, but the power button is on.

I can hold the button forever, but it will not turn off.

If I unplug and re-plug, still no panel.

Help.

I am still having this problem with my printer. It worked for a few months just fine, now it hangs every time it sits for more than a few minutes.

When I do this, nothing happens. If I press & hold the power button the power light comes on, but the screen stays blank. Pressing the button combos you suggest on the blank screen does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE:

OK, I got into the menu. I didn't have to do the 5 second power button thing. {Content Removed}

I have been playing around in this new menu and have discovered that if I place the printer in MFG mode, it responds and prints even after going to sleep (but the print quality is bad). When I place it back in USER mode, it goes back to not printing after a few minutes. For now, I am just running the printer in MFG mode unless I need to print something with high quality. I really hope they can get a firmware update to fix this thing or it's going to be my new boat anchor soon.

Can you help with a blue screen and error 0005fbb6?

Back in April 2012 you appear to have the same problem I am no experiencing.

Did you get a fix.... or a new machine?

I am having the exact same problem that someone had as well:

I have an 8500A Plus.

The screen is dead, but the power button is on.

I can hold the button forever, but it will not turn off.

If I unplug and re-plug, still no panel.

Help.

I see that something they did managed to get them to the menu to choose MFG mode.  However, that part has been redacted so I can't see it.  Is my printer a paper-weight, or can we get it to shut off somehow?  I use it for business and am sunk until it works again.
