Hi!
I did a factory reset on my HP 4625 and now my printer is requesting the Setup Cartridges when I try to set up.
Unfortunately I don't have the setup Cartridges anymore, must have been disposed when I moved around.
Can you please help me to bypass this message error?

Hi, @Garp_Senchau.
Thanks for your reply, but I don't have the setup Cartridges anymore and in the link that you sent, all the instructions indicates the setup Cartridges as a solution.
I was wondering if you could help me to find a solution like in the post below:
Best regards,

Hi,
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.
