I need to be able to clean my printer. It seems to have an exploit which affects any newly cleaned computer I hook up to it (Windows 8.1 with Bing and Windows 10 - different verstions). 

 

When things started, I suddenly could not access my scanning ability and the printer started speaking French. I 'went with it' for a while, but it  became apparent that newly formatted computers were repeatedly being hacked nearly immediately after being hooked up over and over, and this has caused other problems as well.

 

Where/how on earth can I get this reformatted/cleaned please ?
