Hello there

 

Possibly that one will be a hard one specially if you do not recognize the language but you can do that for sure

 

Try this first 

 

well you have a printer that has only bottoms and a little screen 

 

turn off the printer and then back on and follow this sequence

 

Press ok once then 4 times the right arrow then two times ok (at this point you should be on the language menu) keep going right until you see English and press ok to select it 

 

If this failed try these (it is a reset to the unit that will delete current settings and set up)

 

1. Turn the printer off.
2. Perform one of the following steps:
● LCD control panel models: Simultaneously press and hold the left arrow button and the Cancel
button. Keep these buttons depressed as you turn the printer on.
NOTE: It takes about 45 seconds before the NVRAM initialization process begins.
3. When the Permanent Storage Init. message appears on the display, release the buttons.
4. When the printer has finished the NVRAM initialization, it returns to the Ready state.

 

You will be guided directly to the Language menu after this reset 

Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

This isn't working for me. I accidently changed the language to German and I want to re-set to English. My control panel does not have a left arrow key. Do you mean the one on the keyboard? The cancel button, is this the X on the control panel?
