Hey there! @Leocheo, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

 

I understand your printer is stuck at initializing firmware screen.

 

Don't worry I will try to help you out.

 

Did you make any changes to your printer?

 

Try performing a super NVRAM rest on your printer and check if it helps.

 

Since the steps to perform NVRAM is confidential I will send you the steps in a private message. Please watch your inbox.

 

 

 

Let me know how it goes!

Have a beautiful day ahead! 🙂
