To reset the printer to factory default settings

1 Press MENU until RESETS MENU displays.

2 Press ITEM until RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS displays.

3 Press SELECT until the following message appears:

RESTORING

FACTORY SETTINGS

This message displays until the printer has completed the initialization

Yes; there is a great (official HP !) video tutorial on how to take it apart properly here:

if you are trying to scan/copy a receipt of something else that is smaller, try to tape it to a regular sheet of paper before you copy it. then the unit can detect the paper size.

I installed new ink cartridges but after installation my printer don't align when making copies on top of the glass the paper is not detected.

When you reboot your machine the print spooler service should restart on its own. If this does not solve the problem you can go to the services panel and manually restart the service:Start > Run > type services.msc > Hit Enter > Scroll down to Print Spooler > Right click the service and hit restartThe above solution will only allow you to do this if you are an administrator on your machine.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles. If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive. It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head.

You can download the HP printer drivers from their supportWEB site. Please click on this link and select your model printer to download:-http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html
