@SUNDAYA Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that printer stuck on initializing.

Please perform the hard reset and check.

1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on. 

2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue. 

3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer. 

4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 

5. Wait at least 60 seconds. 

6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. 

7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer. 

8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on. 

9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed 

Are these the steps you used to manually move the carousel?

• Open the scanner lid and the lid below that so you should see the toners.
• On the left-hand side of the black frame, you will see an oval hole with a white plastic piece inside it.
• You will need to use something to push down on the white plastic piece, at the same time push the carousel backwards, don't touch the toner, though. It has to be in the exact right position in order to be able to pull the toner out.

I included a picture with the general area, where to use the manual feature on the printer.
