I’ve seen multiple threads (for example: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Inkjet-Printing/HP5255-HOW-to-bypass-setup-cartridges/m-p/7106488#M799...) regarding bypassing the set up cartridges, which I no longer have for my printer. Can an agent please send me a private message regarding how to bypass?

I purchased my HP officejet 5255 a year ago, and it has been sitting in its box, which I thought no one had messed with it, the entire time. I opened it up today and there are no setup cartridges. How can I bypass this issue with replacement cartridges or ???? HELP!!
