I tried a factory reset on my printer because my instant ink couldn't find my printer even though my printer was connected to the internet, apparently that was a big mistake because you need the initial cartidges?
So now I'm stuck in the setup loop and it is just saying "preparing" and won't progress past the cartidge stage. I've tried doing a power drain and a bunch of other things. HELP!
