Sometimes on start up, a HP printer can get stuck in the initializing sequence. The counter on the machine can reach up until well over 300, when this happens, there are occasions that the printer will not move pass this stage and turn on properly. When this does happen, please follow the steps below to have that one restarted and correctly booted up.
