I had this same exact problem. Try doing:
1. Unplug the power cord from printer.
2. Hold both o.k and Cancel simultaneously.
3. Plug the power cable while holding the buttons.

After I did this my printer reconfigured like it used to do and it was like it was new again.... well new plus a headache a managed to get while reading all these little posts. I hope this helps!

Same here. HP told us their printers are disposable and that we should upgrade! The printer only has about 10k copies thru it! HP stuff is designed to fail. Junk! Never again.
