I set up my printer, threw away the setup cartridges, went to fire up my new printer and....Use SETUP cartridges that came with your printer.

 

May I please have the instructions sent to me in a private message for bypassing the setup cartridges?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @mjc7501a,
Welcome to HP Support Community. This is a great place to post questions and find answers.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I see that you are facing setup cartridge issues on your HP printer.

 

Please follow the steps listed below to initialize the printer using the regular cartridges.

 

1. Open the ink cartridge access door.
2. Press and hold the Wireless button for at least three seconds.
3. Close the ink cartridge access door. An alignment page prints, indicating that the printer has initialized.
4. If the printer does not initialize, repeat these steps until it does.

 

Let me know if this helps and have a good day.
