Good morning,

I contact you about an issue occurred with the cartridges.

After years of normal use now the printer is displaying the "Use SETUP Cartridges error" not allowing me to do anything.

Could you please help me?

Regards Stefano.

Welcome to HP support community.

 

Remove and reinsert the ink cartridges

  1. Turn on the printer.

  2. Open the door to access the ink cartridges.

  3. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.

  4. Push the tab on an ink cartridge, and then pull the ink cartridge from its slot.

       CAUTION: 

    Do not leave the ink cartridges outside the printer longer than 30 minutes. Doing so can result in damage to both the printer and the ink cartridges.

  5. Reinsert the ink cartridge into its color-coded slot, and then press down on it until it snaps into place.

     Inserting the ink cartridge into place

  6. Repeat these steps to remove and reinsert the remaining ink cartridges.

  7. Close the ink cartridge access door.
