HP 8710 Printer All in One Series
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have had this printer for about 4 or 5 years. It has worked fine. It ran out of ink, I went an purchased new ink (which is expensive) it took the cartridges... but then demanded setup cartridges. I don't have them... it's been YEARS. I have tried to enable the trade thing. Didn't work. Tried resetting the printer. Didn't work. Tried poking it in special places because people said that worked. (it doesn't)

I'm at a loss. So now, I'm out the stupid amount of the ink, and I have a printer that is a useless brick. Any ideas?
