My printer has no blue light to connect to wifi, I have tried unplugging and everything. I need to know how to reset my printer to setup mode so my blue wifi light will come back on. Does anyone know how to do this with this printer? I have not been able to connect it at all yet!!! And it's touchscreen is stuck on install HP smart app message, I can not get into any settings. So frustrating. Thanks!

Hello,
Please to restore the printer to the original factory defaults as follows:
- From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch Setup (
).
- Touch Printer Maintenance, and then touch Restore.
- Touch Restore Factory Defaults.
A message appears stating that the factory defaults will be restored. - Touch Continue. The printer will restart automatically.
Let me know if this has solved the issue or/and if the Restore Factory Defaults option is locked?
