[BernardkC]

Product: MFP 179 fnw

I need to know how to factory-reset the MFP 179 fnw? Its stuck in a boot loop as described:

My problem is that the printer continues to initialize.

Appear on the screen the following:

System Initialize

Warming up

Ready to Copy

Phone

System Initialize

and so on in a loop

Hi @BernardkC,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

I understand that you are facing issues with your Printer Stuck In initialization.

Please follow the steps listed below to reset the unit.

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.
3. Wait 60 seconds.
4. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and the printer.
NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
5. Turn the printer on.

Update the firmware by selecting your current OS. Click here

If the above steps do not help, let's try NVRAM reset and see how it goes. 

The reset instructions are specific to 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 instructions to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps.
