How do I reset p2015dn back to factory defaults
I have a HP laserjet P2015dn that is one of my branch offices. The network recently changed to a different subnet. This printer however was assigned a static IP from the old subnet. How do I get the printer back to factory default settings so it will grab an IP address from the new DHCP server?

Tried that. But does not work.

ok just found out that it's the red button not the green one you need to hold in for 5 seconds.
you could always set your network card ip address to the same range / subnet, and web browse to the printer and change the ip address
Hmmmm....what is it that makes you say the cold reset doesn't work? You can also try a NVRAM reset, but I don't think that will help any if the cold reset doesn't work. For NVRAM reset, same as above, but hold for more than 15 seconds. Here is some more info...

Don't remember which one, but it should be in the manual at the HP site.
I hope this helps !
