I have a secondhand HP ENVY 6155e. It was given to me without the original SETUP cartridges and the printer is stuck on ‘Use SETUP Cartridges.’ I have new genuine HP 68 cartridges installed. I need help completing initialization/OOBE reset without the original SETUP cartridges.

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.
Let me assist you with the steps to override the use setup cartridge error.
These steps are specific to the printer and I am afraid trying on a different printer might brick it.
I'm sending you a private message to guide you on the next steps.
To access it, click the private message icon in the upper-right corner of your HP Support Community profile, next to your name.
Take care and have a great day!
