Hi! @C1GARMAN, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!
I understand that you need to know how to reset your printer back to factory settings.
Don't worry I'd like to help.
Please provide the product number of your printer for better assistance.
Did you make any software or changes on your PC or printer?
Please try the steps mentioned below to reset your printer to factory state.
Reset the printer. 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Unplug the power cord. 3. Wait a minute, and then plug the power cord back in. 4. Turn on the printer.
Let me know if this works!
Have a great day ahead!:)

@C1GARMAN, Thanks for your quick response.
According to the user guide the steps I provided is meant to perform reset on the printer.
As you mentioned the issue still persist, Please try the steps recommended below to reset the network settings.
Press the Wireless button and the Cancel button from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds.
The network will need to be reconfigured afterwards. Then the user name will be admin and the password is left blank.
I'll watch your reply! 🙂
