I restored my printer to factory default and uninstalled all the HP software that was listed. After reinstalling the software I wanted to setup my fax. When I went to reset the fax, all my information was already set-up. Can anyone tell me why?

@chuck1103, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

To assist you better, I would like to know the following-

 

Are you trying to completely reset the printer?

Which files are you referring to when you say- "I believe the files were located in my docs folders and weren't deleted when I deleted the programs. If this is not correct please let me know."?

Would you like to reset the fax settings on the printer?

 

Keep me posted for further assistance.

Sorry for my post on printer reset. I believe the files were located in my docs folders and weren't deleted when I deleted the programs. If this is not correct please let me know.
