I attempted to update the firmware on the printer and now the printer is stuck. I cannot print a self test by holding the Resume/Cancel button nor does it show up in the HP Smart utility or the HP Easy Start application. Based on other posts in this thread, I think it needs an NVRAM reset. Can you send me the instructions on how to do that?

 

I am using a Mac mini running Mac OS Catalina. I do not have access to a Windows computer.

 

Thank you.
