Using normal cartridges prior to use of set up ink cartridges on HP OfficeJet 5252

[PhilipR1]

We recently moved to the USA and tried to use HP 63 cartridges on our old HP desk jet but realize they were not compatible. We decided to upgrade to a HP OfficeJet 5252 and hoped to use these pre-opened cartridges but now I’m getting an error saying that we have to use the set up cartridges provided. Of course we would rather use the Cartridges that we had already opened rather than the still sealed set-up cartridges that we would like to save for the next cartridge replacement. How do we override the function so that we can use these already-opened cartridges?
