@cusson1969,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

To factory reset your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M183fw, follow these steps:

 

Factory Reset via Printer Control Panel:

 

  1. On the printer’s touchscreen, tap the Setup menu.
  2. Navigate to Service > Restore Defaults.
  3. Confirm the reset. The printer will restart and return to factory settings.

 

Full NVRAM Reset (If Needed):

 

If the issue persists, try a full reset:

 

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Press and hold the Resume (⚠️) button and Power button together.
  3. Wait until the printer starts up and release the buttons.

 

After Reset: Reconfigure the Printer:

 

  • Reconnect to WiFi (if needed).
  • Install drivers from HP’s website.
  • Try printing a test page.

 

Let me know if you need more help!

 

Kind Regards,
