HP Photosmart 5520

Hi, I have been given a Photosmart 5520 from my sister however it is asking for setup cartridges, in which I don’t have! I do have normal ink cartridges to use but it won’t let me go any further without using setup cartridges. Is there a way I can bypass this part without using setup cartridges?

@EddieWood Greetings from the HP Community!

Use SETUP Cartridges displays on the printer control panel or computer, and the printer does not print.

NOTE: 

If you see an ink cartridge error message other than Use SETUP Cartridges, go to HP Customer Support, search for your printer model, and then find the troubleshooting document that matches the error you see.

The steps to troubleshoot vary by the type of ink cartridges your printer uses. Identify your ink cartridge type, and then follow the steps to resolve the issue.
