question with printer set up

[jcj80]

setting up my printer and realized I don't have the original set up ink cartridges that came with it (well I do but they've been used by my father already) and I wasn't  aware until too late that I needed them for set up.  what do I do? is there a way to set up without them or somewhere I can purchase an unused one? any help is appreciated!

@jcj80, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

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.  

  

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.  

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
