Product: HP ENVY Photo 6230 All-in-One Printer

Hi Guys, I have a HP Envy Photo 6230 Printer that, during the firt installation,  is asking me setup cartridges. I don’t have any set up cartridges, but, as i read,  I think there is a bypass procedure. I have put in genuine HP 303 cartridges but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me please? Thanks a lot for your help. Nice day.

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

My sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you. We'd hate for you to be stuck in a situation like this. Because you matter to us.

 

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.
