HP laser jet MFP M26nw. Gets stuck on initializing, after a few hours finally says ready. Make one copy, now screen stuck on copy. Only way to clear it is turn it off, then on. Back to stuck on initializing!  I’ve done all previous tips,unplugged everything.  taken toner out tip, hard reset tip, etc. I have read every post on the initializing problem and tried every tip. Trying to make copy of tax return and so far it’s taken me 3 days and still not done.  Anyone ever get this resolved?
