Reset your wireless setting to factory default settings

Internal EIO print servers
Internal LIO print servers
External print servers

For internal EIO print servers—In most cases, the HP Jetdirect internal print server can be reset to factory defaults when a cold-reset is performed on the printer. For selected HP LaserJet printers, a cold-reset is performed by power cycling the printer while pressing the Go button. For other printers, refer to your printer manuals. Or, visit http://www.hp.com/go/support and search for document file bpj02300.html.

Note: Some printers provide a factory reset option for the printer through the printer’s control panel. However, this reset option for the printer may not reset the HP Jetdirect print server. When you attempt to reset to factory default values, print a Jetdirect configuration page to confirm that factory-reset values have been assigned.

Caution: Resetting the printer will reset all printer settings to their factory defaults. After resetting the printer, you may need to use the printer's control panel to reconfigure printer settings that are required by users.

For internal LIO print servers—Reset HP Jetdirect LIO print servers by holding down the Test button on the print server while inserting the print server into the LIO slot. Because the LIO print server receives its power from the printer, the printer must be turned on.

For external print servers (Reset wireless settings to factory-default values and configure again)—To reset the print server configuration to factory defaults, follow these steps:

  1. Unplug the power module from the back of the print server.
  2. While holding down the test button on the back of the print server, plug the power module back into the print server and continue to hold down the test button for about five seconds. Any user-configured settings will be erased.
When the procedure is done, the print server responds exactly like it was fresh from the factory. You will then need to run the HP Install Network Printer Wizard from the beginning.
