When i turn my printer on it says "Cartridge cannot be used until printer is enrolled in HP Instant Ink". I am enrolled in instant ink already. I click hide on that screen and it says i have to align the printhead. I hit continue and it just sits on the "Printing the alignment page..." screen forever. When i try to use HP smart software the printer is offline. The wifi icon on the printer is off.  Is there a way to do a factory restore when the touchscreen on the printer isn't responsive???
