Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I have gone through your post and would like to help.

To reset the printer, follow the steps below.

1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

5. Wait at least 60 seconds.

6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

7. HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

8. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

9. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

   The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

10. Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

I will also recommend that you try to restore defaults.

If you disable some functions or change some settings and want to change them back, you can restore the printer to the original factory settings or network settings. To restore the printer to the original factory settings

1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.

2. Touch Tools.

3. Touch Restore Factory Defaults, and then touch Yes. A message appears stating that the printer defaults have been restored.

4. Touch OK 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
