HP Envy 5020 Stuck On Startup – Fixed

Stuck When The Printer Is Turned On For The First Time

Generally, when you turn on the printer for the first time, it takes a few minutes more than usual to become idle and silent. So, if the printer is stuck on the startup screen when you turn it on for the first time, wait patiently for a few more minutes for the machine to become stable.

Turn Off The Printer And Turn It On Again

  • If the printer remains stuck for a long time, turn it off and on.
  • To do so, press the Power or On/Off button on the control panel.
  • If the Power button fails to turn off the printer, unplug the power cord from the machine.
  • Then, reconnect the cord to the printer and turn it on.
