How to do a Laserjet n209dwe factory reset?

[DaleEnd]

I have lost the ability to find or connect the printer (Laserjet m209dwe) to my network from any device. I cannot connect via ethernet cable either, the blue light initially pulses and then maybe 10 seconds later the light turns to flashing amber. I have followed the user guides to try and reset the WiFi setting on the printer but nothing works. 

The easiest solution is to just do a factory reset but nowhere in the printer guides and documentation do the instructions of how to do this exist. Please provide instructions on how to do a full factory reset. Thanks.

Hi @DaleEnd,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Restore factory defaults from the Advanced Settings in the HP Smart app.

1. From the HP Smart app home screen, click the image of your printer to open the settings and management tools.

2. Under Settings, click Advanced Settings to open the printer Embedded Web Server (EWS).

3. From the EWS home page, click the Settings or System tab.

4. If you are prompted to log in or enter the printer PIN, enter admin for the username (HP LaserJets only), enter the PIN from the printer label, and then click Submit or OK. This label is typically located inside the cartridge access area or printer door.

5. Restore your printer to factory defaults.

• For most HP printers, click Restore Factory Defaults or Factory under Restore Defaults. Click Restore Factory Defaults > Yes.
• For HP LaserJet printers, click Service, and then click Restore defaults > OK.

After about 20 seconds, your printer automatically restarts.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
