My printer has been working fine for years and then yesterday as soon as I turned it on it went straight to the help menu and cancelled my print job. 

 

I went back to the main menu and a few seconds later it switched itself back to help. I have tried turning it off and on, unplugging it completely leaving it for a while and plugging it back in and nothing is working. I tried cleaning the screen as well and it didnt make a difference.

I did realise that thanks. It says I have no private messages. 

 

I ended up googling how to reset it and once I did that it worked.
