My printer is stuck with a full blue bar from an update. I attempted the following:
Turn it off and back on after a couple of minutes
Turn off the power, unplug for a couple of minutes, turn on the power back on
I downloaded the troubleshooter and it cannot connect to the printer
I wired a network cable directly from the computer into the printer and reran troubleshhoot and it could not connect
An error message saying to contact HP
Is there a way to factory reset the printer without getting to the menu screen?
Any ideas as of what to do next?
This was the reply to that person’s question, which is the same as mine;
Resetting the printer can help restore a connection to the computer.
If the printer is off, turn on the printer, and then check the status of the printer.
If the printer starts printing jobs from the print queue, your printer is clearing out queued print jobs and is online. You can stop troubleshooting.
If the printer goes to an idle state after its startup routine, it might be online.
If the computer still shows the printer as offline, continue using these steps.
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
Unplug the printer power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 60 seconds. Restart the computer while you are waiting.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
If the printer does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Make sure the printer is connected to the computer or the network.
** I have done all of the above ^^ already…
I’m wondering if I can get the below steps.
If the issue still persists after trying out the steps, try performing a semi-full reset on your printer and check if it helps.
How I hard reset the printer?
