Envy Photo 7155 setup cartridges

[Gmanpsu85]

Envy Photo 7155. Was left in home we bought. No cartridges or paper. Unclear if it works. Bought a black cartridge, powered up and installed. Setup dialogue on printer panel asking for setup cartridges. What is a setup cartridge? Is this required ? Will it operate with only black cartridge that I bought ? It won’t advance through setup. Does it need a color cartridge as well or would it still be looking for the setup cartridges?

Hi @Gmanpsu85,

Welcome to HP Support Community. This is a great place to post questions and find answers.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing setup cartridge issues on your HP printer.

Please follow the steps listed below to initialize the printer using the regular cartridges.

1. Touch the Home button once, then the Back button twice, then the Home button once.
2. Open the ink cartridge access door, and then close it. A Load Paper message displays on the control panel display, and the printer begins initializing.
3. If the initialization does not begin, repeat steps 1 and 2 until it does.
4. Follow the prompts on the control panel display to complete initialization.

Option#1 is Back & Option#2 is Home in the above picture.

NOTE: Envy Photo 7000 control panel buttons are not back lit, so they may not be visible

Let me know if this helps and have a good day.
