Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you want to reset the printer, I am glad to assist you.

You might have to perform a semi-full reset on the printer to fix this issue.

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.  

I am sending you a private message with the steps to reset the printer. Please check the mailbox icon at the top-right corner of this screen.

I hope this helps resolve this issue completely.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.

how do i get the instructions to do a factory reset on my printer?  these responses are useless because they all show the user is sent an email but none of them provide instructions or a link to do it for the specific printer shown in the messages....  How is it possible that HP does not provide these instructions to all printer owners?
