Hi, I was gifted this printer as a Christmas present last year. I had it stored since I knew I was moving within the next year. I moved and recently got around to actually needing to use my printer, so I started the setup process. I must have thrown out the setup cartridges or something, because they are nowhere to be found. This isn't a second-hand printer, it is new and never used, but I have simply misplaced or thrown out the setup cartridges and can now not use the printer. The warranty is expired since it has been more than a year (even though this is the first time i'm actually getting around to setting it up) and I am unable to get any help from the AI chat bot. Can someone please help me either bypass the cartridge setup or arrange to have new setup cartridges sent? Thanks.
