I called technical support and they won't help me saying, "Your printer is out of warranty."  Honestly, if this is the kind of service I get then I should definitely stop recommending the people I support to buy HP printers.  Trust me we buy at least 6 per year here.  But now,I need to get this 2 yr old printer to work.  How do you do a cold reset?

Hi Mario_C,

 

Please check your private messages, and let me know if the steps provided resolves your issue?

 

There are an increasing number of posts in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a resets on different printers.  The reset itself will sometimes fix problems, so the reset is not the issue. 

 

Some resets require you to enter button combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were never meant to access.  These special menus are used by the developers and support personnel for debugging issues, but they are not meant for untrained users and can have unintended results.  One wrong button push and you no could no longer have a printer, but instead a pricey paper weight.  To top it off, if you do happen to "brick" the printer this way, it is considered customer induced damage, and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only meant to be given out and used as a last resort, and under direct instruction of a HP tech support representative. They should not be done lightly!
