My HP 5055 setup cartridges got thrown, & instead of using the replacements I bought & installed, my printer prompts me to use the set up cartridges to make things work. When I asked what I could do to bypass that step & use the printer I purchased, I received this response:
Thanks for waiting, here's what you need to do:
- Press TL, BL, TL, TL to enter the Engineering Menu>Service Menu>Resets Menu>OOBE Reset.
- TL means the top left corner of the printer's screen. It is the home symbol.
- BL means the bottom left corner of the printer's screen. It is the return arrow symbol.
- Once done, restart the printer and it should be fine.
However, nowhere on my printer screen do I see a home symbol or return arrow. Do I need to remove the extra cartridges for, or? I’m stuck.

Hi @itskclay,
I have shared the alternate instructions.
- The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
