Hi,

Whats the reason behind reseeting the printer to factory defaults?

how do I do a factory reset if the language is not in English. I need to change the language to English but nothing has worked so maybe if I reset to factory default I can start over

GT2 · ‎08-02-2014

I can get to the setup menu and to tools but since it's not written in English I do not know which choice is > Restore factory defaults

the 1st solution did not work either (press in order bottom left of the screen, then top left, top left, top left etc did not work either)

no support person will return a call because they say my warranty is expired but I purchased extended warranty when I purchased the printer on 7/8/14 but they retruned with the message my product could not be found.

Please help or HH Gregg will get a visit from me and I intend to get a refund

I ended up going on "Chat" with HP Support. They added that after pressing reset, I also had to shut the printer off and back on again and then run the Wireless Network Setup.

That worked great!

Hello, Your fix says to go to: Setup menu > tools > Restore factory defaults.

I can't even get to the 'Setup menu' on my HP6520 printer screen. What I have is the Settings icon, which is a wrench, then when I press that I get to a screen that has 'Tools' as an option. Then when I press on Tools, I get another menu none of which say 'Restore factory defaults.' The options are: Estimated ink levels, Print status report,print quality report, and Clean printhead.

Where am I going wrong?

Hi,

The options displayed are correct, scroll the screen to the next options available which are align printer and restore factory defaults.
