3055A Deskjet
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello

 

I have a Deskjet 3055A laying around that i don't use anymore because it's too expensive for my amount of printing..

So i'd like to give it to a family member,because a member needs a printer.

 

But the problem is that it's configured to my network and such, so i'd like to factory reset it.. 

But i can't find how to do it..

 

Does anyone know how to factory reset the Deskjet 3055A?

Hi @DavidBelgium,

 

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! I came across your post and wanted to assist you. I understand you need assistance with performing a factory reset on the printer. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

 

Let's try to Restore network settings to default settings.

 

1. Press the Wireless button to display the Wireless Menu.

2. From the Wireless Menu, select Settings.

3. From the Settings menu, select Restore Defaults.

4. Confirm selection to restore defaults.

 

The printer will disconnect from the network.

 

For more in detailed, please go through the User guide and scroll down to chapter 2. Get to know the HP All-in-One and then look under Wireless settings page no. 7

 

If the issue persists, I would suggest the next step would be to perform an advanced reset on the printer.
