Product: LaserJet MFP M29w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I've forgotten my username/password for this printer and I can't get into the EWS webpage or hp SMART to change items. I had to remove then reinstall the printer in win 10 20H2. And now I can't access the settings. How do I reset this printer to accept new username and password? Or will a simple factory reset work? If so how do I perform that.?
Now the printer won't even work and print a test page. I get the Hp Diagnose and Fix loop to print a test page and get a Default, Attention required message in win 10 and the Yellow warning light icon on the printer starts blinking until I power cycle the printer.
Ok I completely removed the software and restarted the PC. I re-installed the software complete and I still get the same error.
the printer blinks green and yellow on boot up , then goes solid green and the blue icon starts to blink finally stopping. Whenever I try to print a test page it say 1 document in queue then the triangle yellow light goes on and I get the message Default, Attention Required.
Please provide instructions on the steps to take out ALL of the installed software . I have taken the printer toner cartridge about 3 times now and put back in and doesn't help.
