HP ENVY Photo 7858 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

I am trying to set-up an HP ENVY Photo 7858 printer for the first time (it's several years old, but has never been used).  Unfortunately, I don't have the Setup Cartridges.  Must have lost them.  Is there any way to set-up the printer without these?  If not, am I able to purchase replacement setup cartridges?

Hi @DC2344,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Yes, setup cartridges are normally required, but in many cases, you can bypass this requirement using genuine HP ink cartridges, depending on firmware version and region settings.

Please try the steps shared from the image. This will fix the issue, but you need to have the genuine HP ink cartridges installed in the printer when you try to bypass the setup.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
