Problem : Reset Lexmark T420 printer to factory defaults

Does anyone know how to reset a Lexmark T420 printer to factory defaults?

We just bought a new one. I screwed up the setup, and now it has no IP address and no DHCP to pull one. It’s not responding to the Lemark Software either, although i can “see” it.  Simply resetting it and starting over should do the trick.  I can’t find the reset instructions in the manual, or online.

We have other lexmark printers, and resetting usually involves some bizarre sequence of power on/off, cover open, holding buttons, etc.  Just need to know the magic dance for the T420 if anyone knows it!

thanks
