HP Envy 7858 Freezes at 1st Dot on Startup - PLEASE HELP!!

[drahma002]

My printer is getting stuck on the first dot when starting up and will not boot up.  I have unplugged it and replugged it in, done a power drain and reset, printer is plugged directly into the wall...nothing is working!  There has been no hardware changes or trauma, no software updates that I know of, so I am not sure what the issue is. I have seen  some users with the same issue getting instructions in their PMs about a "hard reboot" and saying that has solved the issue and I would like to know what this option is.  At this point I cannot print or scan anything and I am really frustrated....Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance for any help!

@drahma002, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand you are not able to print. Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

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. 

Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Click the “Kudos, Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!

Have a great day!

I am having the same issue with my HP Envy Photo 7855. I hope it has not aged out. This is the best printer I have used in 15 years. 

I have executed the unplug-5-minutes-press-button-30-seconds-plug-in-direct-to-wall steps numerous times. No movement beyond the first dot. May I also have the hard reset instructions to try to fix this?

Thank you!
