Hi @TerryJay,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Resetting a printer to its factory settings can vary depending on the model, and specific instructions may not be readily available for all printers. However, you can try the following general steps to reset your HP DeskJet 2734e All-In-One Printer to factory settings.
Power Off:
- Make sure the printer is powered on.
- If the printer is currently printing, wait for it to finish, and then turn it off.
Reset Button:
- Some printers have a physical reset button. Check if your printer has one and press it. Refer to your printer's manual for the exact location of the reset button.
Control Panel:
- Navigate to the printer's control panel on the device itself.
- Look for an option that says "Setup," "Tools," or "Preferences."
Restore Defaults:
- Within the setup or tools menu, look for an option that allows you to restore or reset the printer to its default or factory settings.
- This option might be named differently, so check your printer's manual for specific instructions.
Software Utility:
- You can also use the HP software utility installed on your computer to reset the printer.
- Open the HP printer software on your computer.
- Look for a "Tools" or "Settings" option.
- Find an option for "Device Maintenance," "Printer Preferences," or similar.
- There should be an option to restore the printer to factory settings.
Web Interface:
- Some printers have a web interface that you can access through a web browser. Check your printer's manual for information on accessing the web interface.
- Once logged in, look for an option to reset the printer to factory settings.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
