My son gave me an OfficeJet Pro 8025. It had never been used, and didn't have any ink so I bought some. When I loaded the ink it said to use SETUP cartridges that came with the printer. Is there any way to bypass this? Thanks

Hi @SteveP79,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community! 

  

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. 

  

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Support Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link. 

  

Let me know if this helps.
