My husband messed up our printer by trying to connect his work laptop to home printer. I sure could use a hard reset. Anyone know the trick? We have an XP laptop officejet 6500 E709n

Press the Setup Button>Network Setup>Restore Network Defaults. That should reset the network settings so that you can connect the printer to another wireless network.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

Unplug power from both the wall and the printer for 5 minutes. After that, hold the # and 6 keys while powering back on.

That operation performs a partial reset. Did not solve chronic problems.

Thank you for this reset. The control panel had locked up solid, and none of the keys would respond until I had carried out this reset proceedure.
Many thanks

I have tried the #6 and #9 to reset my printer, but it keeps coming back with the error message "Ink System Failure". I left it off (unplugged) overnight, tried again this morning.
Once it goes into this error message (no message #), no buttons will work.
What else can I try?
