Hi @Kevin379,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The "setup cartridges" or "starter cartridges" that come with a printer are often used to initialize or set up the printer for the first time. If you don't have the setup cartridges and are encountering an error, there are a few potential workarounds you can try.

Reset the Printer:

• Turn off the printer.
• Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
• Wait for about a minute.
• Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.
• Check if the error persists.

Use Regular Cartridges:

• Some users have reported success by using regular ink cartridges in place of the setup cartridges. Try installing standard ink cartridges and see if the printer accepts them.

Factory Reset:

• Perform a factory reset on the printer. Keep in mind that a factory reset will erase any custom settings you may have configured on the printer.
• Look for the factory reset option in your printer's menu or consult the printer's manual for instructions on how to perform a factory reset.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
