Hi @Cat2005 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

It looks like your HP Envy 5030 is requiring setup ink cartridges, which are typically needed for the printer’s first-time initialization. Since your printer didn’t come with them and is out of warranty, 

 

Let me share the steps to by pass the setup ink requirement in a private message, as these steps can brick if tried on a different printer model.
