I not sure why you need to do a reset for? Did you refill your toner cartridges and your printer still wont print, showing a message in effect stating " Printer Cartridges Empty " or something to that effect, I can tell you hoe to reset the printer to accept the newly filled cartridges. (1) Turn off your computer then power down your printer. (2) unplug the USB cable where it enters the printer. (3) Power up your printer and remove all cartridges. (4) Make sure the cartridges holders are in the locked position and power down your printer , wait 20 seconds then turn it on again. (5) repeat the power on/off cycle 5 times leaving the printer power on long enough for it's " seek and find " cycles typically about 8-12 seconds. This will reset the printers count memory of the last 5 cartridges used. This procedure will work for MOST printers that use a RF IC chip that monitors how many pages have been printed by the printer. This is especially true of Lexmark printers, the number one printer manufactures who uses this technology. When you post questions in any forum here, try and leave the make, model number and the specifics of the nature of your problem. Without any further details I would be shooting in the dark in regards to doing a factory reset. A reset to accomplish what end result. if your question is in regards to doing a reset to get your printer to accept a refilled toner cartridge, above mentioned procedures should work. BOL.
