Hi @Fanosc,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

Performing a factory reset on an HP LaserJet printer can vary slightly depending on the specific model. Since you mentioned the HP LaserJet 150nw, I'll provide you with a general procedure that should work for most HP LaserJet printers. However, please note that factory reset procedures can vary, so it's always a good idea to consult your printer's manual or HP's official support resources for the most accurate instructions.

 

Here's how you might perform a factory reset on the HP LaserJet 150nw:

 

  • Turn Off the Printer: Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged from any power source.
  • Press and Hold Buttons: On the printer's control panel, locate the "Cancel" button and the "Wireless" button. Press and hold both of these buttons simultaneously.
  • Power On the Printer: While still holding down the "Cancel" and "Wireless" buttons, plug the printer back into a power source or turn it on using the power button. Continue holding the buttons.
  • Release the Buttons: After a few seconds, you should see the printer's control panel lights start to blink. Once this happens, release the "Cancel" and "Wireless" buttons.
  • Restore Defaults: The printer will now start the reset process. It might take a few minutes. Eventually, the printer should return to its factory default settings.
  • Reconfigure: Once the reset is complete, you'll need to reconfigure the printer's settings, including connecting it to your network if necessary.

 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
