My daughter accidentally threw out the setup cartridges for our HP Envoy 6885e printer. Is it possible to bypass the setup cartridge procedure?

Hi @reemer1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If you have lost or discarded the setup cartridges for your HP Envy 6885e printer, you might encounter issues during the initial setup, as HP printers typically require setting up with these specific cartridges to ensure proper alignment and calibration.


Kindly share the image of the ink cartridges with us in a private message.
