I have a LaserJet Pro 500 color MFP that freezes in "initializing". I have to shut it down once or twice for it to work properly... But later the problem arises again.

Interestingly (?), a friend of mine has a similar printer bought at the same time, and the same problem arose more or less at the same time!

Can you please help me/us in this issue?

Is this a M570 or M575?  Is printer freezing during boot up?  Or freezing after it comes to Ready?

It is a M570.

Sometimes it freezes during boot up, but is also freezes after becoming Ready... After restart It may print a document, but then freezes again. The behavior is random.
