Greetings @oldhighlander13

 

Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post. 

 

I understand that you are looking to dispose of your printer and want to know if you need to remove any memory from the printer. Don't worry, I will be glad to help. 

 

To the best of my knowledge, nobody can retrieve any print job from the printer. They will only see the settings or printer preferences. 

However, you can perform a factory reset on your printer to erase the settings and preferences.

Please follow the procedure sent to you as a private message on Forums. Please check your inbox on HP Forums. 

 

Let me know if this helped. 

 

If the information I've provided was helpful,

Please give us some reinforcement by clicking the "Accepted Solution" and "Kudos" buttons,

That’ll help us and others see that we’ve got the answers!

Good Luck.

Thanks for the answer.   I tried the factory reset solution but the "resume " button didn't flash.  The printer doesn't have fax capability so I'm pretty sure that you are right in your belief that no info can be retrieved from it.

 

Very helpful- thanks again. ( I tried clicking on the "kudos and accept solutions buttons on the e-mail but they didn't seem to work.
