I used this printer with a previous employer. They logged in and made themselves admins to cut back on wireless activity. I am no longer with that employer and need to be able to make changes to my printer so I can now print on both sides. I assume I need to set my printer back to factory settings so that I can now set up my own preferences. Please let me know how I can do this. I keep marking to print on both sides but it no longer works.

My Tutorial : (1)
Uninstall the old driver in Control Panel, "Programs and Features", then remove
all occurrences related to your printer name, in Program and X86 Program, and then in
configuration, right click on your old printer (If it's still there, chances are it's not there anymore)
''Delete'' if present.
Restart the PC, connect the printer to the mains, connect a USB cord on the PC side, on the printer you
will connect during installation ONLY when prompted.
Start installing your printer, by right-clicking on the Setup. downloaded driver exe, installed ''en
as administrator'', OK, let the installation take place, at the end of the installation, restart the PC.
To create a shortcut on the Windows desktop, open Control Panel, right-click on your
new printer, create shortcut, on the desktop, yes.
A new shortcut has been created on the Windows desktop.
Go to the desktop, click on this new shortcut, to open the new operation menu of your printer.
Turn on your printer, print a test page.
That's it, your printer is working again.

Excellent Day.
