HP ENVY Photo 7155 All-in-One Printer

The printer display is frozen on the loading screen. I tried unplugging and taking out the ink…..did not work. How do I get it “unfrozen”

Hi @Timquin,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

 

I see you are experiencing issues with the HP ENVY Photo 7155 All-In-One Printer is stuck on the initialization screen. Check if you can bypass this to access the home screen of the printer.

 

If yes, let us try this: Go to Setup > Tools > Restore to factory defaults

Note: You will have to reconnect the printer to the wireless network after the reset

 

Reset the printer

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
  4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
  5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

 

If this does not help, unplug the power cable and hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds and release it. Power on the printer and check.

 

Check for any jams inside the printer and make sure the carriage is moving freely.

 

I have a few recommendations 

  • Remove the ink cartridges from the printer. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip. Wait at least 60 seconds. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet..

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

That does nothing. The screen is frozen on the initialization part. I tried all those techniques and get the same result……it starts initializing and then freezes up while doing so
