# How to Uninstall SimplyPrint from a Creality K2-series printer

||| **Only for the older / alternative setup.** If you connected your printer using the SimplyPrint Client, there is nothing to uninstall - the SimplyPrint Client connects to your printer wirelessly and never installs anything on the printer itself. To return the printer to normal, just quit or power off the device running the SimplyPrint Client; the printer is completely unchanged. The steps below apply only if you previously installed SimplyPrint directly on the printer.

# 1. Find your K2's IP address
1. On the touchscreen navigate to **"Settings"** → **"Network"**.

# 3. Connect to your K2 via SSH
1. Open a terminal or SSH client on your computer.
2. Connect to your K2 using the IP address and root password you noted:
```
ssh root@[IP_ADDRESS]
```

| For example; `ssh root@192.168.0.42`

3. When prompted for a password, enter the password you noted.
|| The password won't show up while typing - don't worry; that's normal.

# 4. Run the Uninstall Script
1. Once connected, run the command below to launch the script menu:
```
python3 -c "import urllib.request;print(urllib.request.urlopen('https://download.simplyprint.io/creality/k2/k2-setup.sh').read().decode())" | sh
```

2. Choose your desired uninstall option, and follow the on-screen instructions:
| Choose option 7:  `7) Uninstall all` to completely remove SimplyPrint from the printer.

|| Once the script is finished it should display `Restart your printer to finalize the uninstallation.`, if the uninstall was successful.
---

That's it! SimplyPrint has now been removed from your Creality K2-series printer.
