Hi @Glen291,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. I understand you do not have the setup ink cartridges. To bypass the message on the printer the only option left is to perform an OOBE reset and re-initialize the printer.
I request you to follow the steps mentioned below.
- Touch the Home button once, then the Back button twice, then the Home button once.
- Open the ink cartridge access door, and then close it. A Load Paper message displays on the control panel display, and the printer begins initializing.
- If the initialization does not begin, repeat steps 1 and 2 until it does.
Follow the prompts on the control panel display to complete initialization.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
