HP Photosmart C4780: Factory Reset for HP Photosmart C4780

I recently started using a new wireless router after a move, and I'm able to get my computer and my printer on the same network.

I tried to figure out how to change the network that connects the printer, but I was completely failed. I did a lot of searching around, and nothing seems to work. For what it's worth, I had all the last printer and driver software with the software update feature on my Mac. I am also able to connect to the printer and print using a USB cable. But I'm completely unable to access all the settings of the printer that would allow me to move the printer to the same network as the computer. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I think that if I could get the printer to do a factory reset or a hard reset, that might be a better place to start. I think that the printer has some memory kept the old wireless network, because this network name appears on one of these pages, you can print troubleshooting. But if the printer didn't remember any wireless network, then it might be easier to implement on the new wireless network. Unfortunately, I can't find any information on how to do a factory zero either, so if anyone knows how to do, please also let me know.

Hi @rumsmuggler

Forgive me for the delay in my response.

It's strange, that it must continue to blink and only go solid once your computer is connected to the network printers.

It could be the wireless radio no longer works properly, I will send you a different reset in a private message, please check the little envelope on the upper right of the forums page to check your Inbox of Forums.

Then you can try the steps again.

Please let me know if these steps solved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

I look forward to hear from you!

Thank you

  • Real factory reset for OfficeJet K60

    How can I make a real factory reset on an OfficeJet K60? I chose the option of this name from the LCD, but I can still print to the event log with a list of numbers dialed and received, along the speed dial list. Not the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a device you just plant.

    Hi Craig,.

    I'm glad that solved your problem!
     
    The reason why I didn't after resetting publicly, it is that it does not apply to all situations of troubleshooting. Resets are the last step after an exhausting standard troubleshooting. If the reset doesn't fix the problem, this usually indicates a hardware problem.

    Reset instructions can have unexpected results if not used properly. These steps are reserved for situations of 'last resort '. Detachment is publicly could owners their products in a complete reset reset is not necessary.
     
    Finally, as with any reset, power cycle returns the default printer and clears the saved settings, it would not be advisable to proceed with this step, immediately.

    Please let me know if you have any questions!

  • Factory reset for Windows 7 will restore my BIOS too to its original state when I bought it?

    I now use Windows 8, I bought my laptop in JULY 2012. It came with Windows Home Premium and I have the recovery disc for Windows 7. I intend to factory reset my laptop because of my disappointment with Windows 8 and supprt for Windows 8.

    I want to know if the "factory Reset" will restore the BIOS of the laptop in its original state. I mean I have my BIOS set to update to the latest. I want to return to its former State. How long is the factory reset also takes? I own edition HP DV6T Quad 7000 with 32 GB WSSD.

    Intel RST does not have anything, my HARD drive is shown in non-RAID and there is no way I can change it to RAID. My last option is to try the Factory Reset and see if it helps. I'm sure that TSRI will work if my BIOS is restored to the original condition with everything so it starts to detect my HDD in RAID.

    Hello

    A factory image recovery will not affect the version of BIOS or current settings. The duration during which the factory image recovery takes wil depend on what type of recovery media that you have. If you have a usb recovery media that it will probably wait maybe thiry minutes. Use you a recovery value disk while recovery might take a few hours to complete.

    Once you start the recovery not to touch the keyboard.

    Make sure that the wireless is turned on before commit you to the recovery.

    Best regards

  • Factory Reset for ACER Iconia W3 opportunity

    Bought an ACER Iconia W3 used by someone who inherited it and who knows little/nothing about this. The supplied password does not work, and I need help do a password reset or factory reset. Don't know what should have delivered with this point if she was new, but I only have Windows 8 loaded shelf. I bought a micro USB adapter so I can attach a flash drive, but following the instructions of the wizard to reset, an error occurs. Any help will be very appreciated!  ~ BRitz

    (a) are you talking about a BIOS password or Windows password?

    (b) you have the possibility to use the recovery provided with the W3 DVDs when new?

    If a Windows password, just reinstall everything from the DVD. If a BIOS password try really, really hard to find what is something else he must go to Acer repair center.

    If you do not have the DVD and it's just a Windows password, you can order a replacement of http://store.acer.com/store/aceramer/en_US/eRecovery (If select another country in store.acer.com, then eRecovery).

    I have a lot of phones 6945 cp and cp-9971.

    Launching of # at the start and then typing 123456789 * 0 # method works for cp-6945 but not for the cp-9971.

    There is a CP-9971 phone, which works very well but his split two display, so nothing can be read, or video cannot be seen properly.

    I tried all sorts of Reset on menu administrator (device, all, security). It is always divided in two and the left part of it has a light background and no buttons on the screen, right part works correctly.

    is there a reset process material for this model (cp-9971, not the popular 7791)?

    Nothing beats the #123... for 9971 s. The remains, you tried are the only ones available.

    Hello, I want to restore all my files on my computer. But how to hold my adobe photoshop [12 items] and first applications, (which I bought the dvd), through a factory reset on my computer.

    Is it possible to retrieve the adobe programs after that that they have been removed (thorugh factory reset). Since you cannot use the same access key (for the program) more than once, I believe.

    P.S. I have not done the factory reset for the moment.

    It seems I accidentally deleted something quite important, and now my internet is not working, my laptop is seen probems marketing, and its just be generally slow and not make it as its meant to do.

    I managed to back up everything that I can do a factory reset. the thing is that I bought my laptop used, because I could not afford a new at the time, so I don't have a recovery disk.

    Sorry, but the restriction password cannot be reset, it is part of the backup and restore a backup that was taken after the restrictions were activated, restore this code again.

    You will have to start without the help of the data backup, configure the phone to factory settings and start over. Follow the steps mentioned in this article:

    Use iTunes to restore your device to factory settings - Support Apple iOS

    If you lose or forget your password restriction, you must erase your device and then put it up as a new device to remove the restriction password. Restore the device by using a backup does not delete the access code.

  • Factory reset: no where Reset for?

    I've had this computer for a while and you have downloaded many unnecessary programs and unnecessary processes are running reduce my activity down. Time for a factory reset, the only problem is that I do not think I have something that needs to be reset. I wiped the entire hard drive and reinstalled windows and all the drivers. I don't not want to complete this process again because my computer needs special drivers and it's annoying to reinstall them every time. So since I installed windows and all the drivers myself, a factory reset always work?

    I don't see how you could even have a factory restore option that you stated you wiped and reinstalled win - 7 :)

    You would have to create a system image after fully update 7 to have a

  • Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

    Hello

    My laptop is a ProBook s 4540

    When I bought it, it came with 4 DVDs:

    • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 7)
    • Operating system DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1
    • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 8)
    • Operating system Windows 8 Pro DVD

    At some point I want to Factory Reset my laptop and I wonder if this dvd is to do it since I do not have the recovery with the recovery discs manager.

    Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

    Hello

    Even better. Factory reset will bring more information, including the bloatware. Two sets of DVD (for Windows 7 and Windows 8) are the BEST companions. You will get your machine under control and you can download other software also under control.

    We all love having two RST for each operating system.

    Kind regards.
