Hello, I just bought an HP OfficeJet 7720 ink jet and got it to print after just a few minutes which I am very grateful. However, when I was setting it up it, the language on the printer display acccidentally scrolled off of English and now it's displaying another language. What is the best way to re-set the language displayed to English? Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my inquiry!
