OfficeJet Pro 8025 stuck on "Printing Alignment Page" during first time set up

[gh0stjunK]

I just purchased an OfficeJet Pro 8025 and upon the initial set up, the printer is stuck on "Printing alignment page". The screen just sits there with no error and doesn't print the page. I've ensured that the cartridges are placed correctly and the paper is loaded. Is there anyway of bypassing this part of the set up?

Follow the steps below-

Reset the printer

1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. Remove the ink cartridges.
4. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
5. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
6. Wait at least 60 seconds.
7. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
8. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
9. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
10. Install the ink cartridges.
11. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Update the printer firmware

Download available firmware updates from the HP website

With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

If the issue persists, the only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

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.
