Delete Memory from HP Photosmart 5220

[Lumy]

Hi,

I was wondering if the HP Photosmart 5220 holds any memory such that I can remove before giving this printer away?

cheers,

Lum

Anyone?

Hi Lumy,

Is there any chance that your printer is a Photosmart 5520 instead of a 5220 ?

There may be some steps you can take.  I just need to make sure we are talking about the same printer.

Thanks for the reply. My apologies, yes it is a 5520.

You are welcome.  If you had the printer connected to a network, you can select the

"Wrench" button  |  Wireless  |  Restore Network Defaults

Then select the

"Wrench" button  |  Tools  |  Restore Factory Defaults

For good measure you could do a Semi Full Reset.  This is a stronger reset and, if successful, would reset the printer to factory defaults and clear the memory.  If the printer was on a wireless network, it would be taken off and would need to be reconnected.  If you want to give this a try, I can send the steps in a private message to your HP Forums in-box.  I would need you to agree not to publish the steps.  Let me know what you decide.

yes can you please tell me the steps on how to do the stronger reset. I will not publish the steps anywhere.

I sent the instructions to your HP Forums in-box.  Let me know how it goes.
