@wonderlandbandi The setup cartridges are required for initial setup of the printer.  

Did you purchase the printer new or was it a floor model or demo unit? follow the steps mentioned here for assistance

And If the cartridges are not setup cartridges you will need to contact HP to request setup cartridges, I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started:

 

1) Click on this link - http://www.hp.com/contacthp/

2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step:

3) Enter the serial of your device.

4) Select the country from the drop-down.

5) Click on "Show Options".

Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself!

 

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from, 

here's how private messages work: Click here for details.

I purchased the printer brand new with cartridges and have already set up the printer. Has been working fine and all of the sudden when i insert new ink cartridges i have used multiple times before they wont work. 

It tells me to use setup cart. again.
