Hi, thank you for your support. I unfortunately lost the setup cartridges; Please How can I finish the installation without the original cartridge? I bought the ordinary cartridge, but it didn't solve the problem. Thank you in advance

@Fangnon, You're welcome! I understand your concern. The HP DeskJet 2720 requires setup cartridges to complete the initial installation. Since you've lost them, the printer may not recognize standard cartridges right away.
Possible Solutions:
Try a Hard Reset
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait 2-3 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.
- Try installing the ordinary cartridges again.
Order Setup Cartridges
- The best solution is to purchase replacement setup cartridges. These are different from standard cartridges and are required for first-time installation. You can check with an HP-authorized retailer or HP Support.
I hope this helps!
