Color laserjet pro MFP m176n stuck on initializing

Well we can check and see if the printer is able to run an engine test. This is how you can run this test;

1. Turn the printer around so the back of the machine is facing you.
2. Remove the Engine etest button acess door. This is located in the bottom center of the back.
3. Push the botton once while the printer is on. The printer should print a page with colored horizontal lines.

If the printer is able to print this page there is a very good indication the problem revolves around the PCA formatter board.
The Firmware might be outdated and causing this problem. Worst case scenario the board might be faulty, in that case your better off buying a new machine, since the cost to replace the board will be higher than that to replace this machine.

Hi,
If your printer is connected in the Network and you are able to print fine than there is no communication Error.
In htan case if you are not able to scan then you need to upgrade the firmware of the printer and install it and i m sure your printer wiill scan scanning on the Network.
Mentioned below is the link to download the latest firmware of the printer.

However before you start sending firmware to the printer you need to make sure that printer driver is installed on the PC.

Thanks and Regards
