HP Envy 5052 stuck in update. Tried resetting/reinstalling everything, and now I cannot connect to the printer at all, bc it is stuck in said update. How do I hard reset the printer without the use of the touch screen?

Hi @HardlyPrints1,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand your HP Envy 5052 printer is stuck in an update and you're unable to perform a reset using the touchscreen, you can try a manual reset. Here's how you can do it:
- Power off the Printer: Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer or directly from the power outlet. Make sure the printer is completely turned off.
- Wait for Some Time: Let the printer sit without power for a few minutes. This helps to clear any residual power from the printer's components.
- Plug it Back In: Reconnect the power cord to the printer and plug it back into the power outlet.
- Wait for Initialization: Allow the printer to power on and initialize. It might take a few moments for the printer to fully boot up.
- Attempt a Factory Reset: If the printer doesn't automatically reset, you may need to perform a factory reset manually. Look for a small button or pinhole on the printer's back or bottom labeled "Reset" or something similar. Use a paperclip or a similar tool to press and hold this button for about 10-15 seconds. This should initiate a factory reset.
- Wait for Reset: After pressing the reset button, continue holding it for at least 10 seconds. Then release it and wait for the printer to reset. It may take a few minutes for the reset process to complete.
- Setup Again: Once the reset is complete, you'll need to set up your printer again, including connecting it to your network and installing any necessary drivers on your computer.
