Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 9135 All-in-One Printer
Operating System: macOS 26.0 Tahoe
I have a new OfficeJet Pro 9135. I can't finish setting up because it apparently won't accept the black K set-up cartridge. (Error message: The indicated cartridges are not communicating correctly with the printer. If the problem persists, replace the cartridges.) Per instructions, replaced the cartridge and now the messages says I have to use the set-up cartridge first. Tried all the recommended fixes. And, of course, no HP support over a weekend. Anyone have an idea what to do? No one home at HP for the weekend, it appears, and have a project to wrap up.
