Error: "Do not use SETUP cartridges"
I am trying to setup my printer for the first time. I just bought it today and am just now getting to set it up. After about 11 or 12 attempts at setting it up by myself, I turned it off and on disconnect it from electricity, nothing worked. I spent the next couple of hours searching HP sites. Now it's your turn.
Whether from the laptop or the printer control panel, the error comes up: "Do not use SETUP cartridges". I really don't think HP expected me to buy new cartridges right out of the gate. I can't do anything to get pass the error.
I really don't know what else to try... I'll take any and all suggestions.
