I am going to recycle my officejet 6700 printer and want to clear the memory. Unfortunately the process described in previous support replies to this issue do not work as I have a Printer Failure error. "Problem with printer or ink system."  I have restarted a number of times but the error persists.

 

How do I physically remove the memory? the printer is being recycled so no need to worry about damage to it.
