Hi @Aliyu_Pilot,
Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! I see that you are having an issue with the LaserJet printer. I’d suggest you start with a power drain to try and fix the issue. Here are the steps:
- Remove the cartridges from the printer.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.
- Let’s first try and make a “photocopy” to determine whether the issue is with the printer or not. Place a document on the scanner glass and choose “Copy” option. If the printer is making a good copy, then the printer hardware is fine.
- If the printer is still stuck on Calibrating, then perform a full factory reset on the printer. I am sending you a private message with the steps. Please check the mailbox icon at the top right corner of your screen to access your inbox.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!
Good luck 🙂

Hi! @Aliyu_Pilot, I am the Mr.Robot. It looks like you were interacting with @Jeet_singh, but he is out of the office today, so I'll take over from here.
I appriciate your efforts for writing back to us.
As you mentioned the issue still persists after performing an NVRAM reset on your printer.
Try updating the printer firmware and check if it helps.
Link to update the printer firmware.
If the issue still persists after trying out the steps.
It is a hardware issue with your printer. Please contact HP support for service options.
