HP Officejet Pro 8025

I was gifted a new/in the box HP Officejet Pro 8025 for Christmas. Trying to set it up, I realized that there were no ink setup cartridges in the box.  I bought new HP cartridges but can't get passed the insert setup ink cartridge message.  The box went out in the trash with all the wrapping paper.  I can't return it...

 

Can someone please private message me a way to get around this error.  Thank you.

Thank you so very much.  Success!!

 

Just had to tweak instructions a tiny bit...

Return Arrow (BL), was hidden, not lit up. Touch anyways.

Printer would not turn off so I just unplugged for a minute.

Turned printer back on and it started it initializing ink system!! -- THANK YOU. 

 

So appreciative of all your help.
