HP Envy 5055 Bypass setup cartridges (OOBE reset and re-initialize the printer)

[jsclark]

Recently discovered a printer that had been sitting around for a while, that had never been setup. Was missing 1 of the 2 setup cartridges so I ordered replacements. Now its telling me that I need the setup cartridges specifically. How can I bypass this. Thanks.

Hi @jsclark ,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

We would have to perform an OOBE reset on the printer to bypass the error 

• The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.

I would like to try the reset. I have checked my private messages, but saw nothing there. Could you please try sending the instructions over again? Thank you.
