Hi @Manando98,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
When an HP DeskJet 2320 is asking for setup cartridges, it typically means that the printer requires the initial setup cartridges to be installed to complete the setup process. These cartridges are usually included with the printer and are necessary for the printer to perform basic functions like aligning and calibrating the printheads.
To bypass this issue, you can try the following steps.
- Verify Cartridge Installation: Make sure that the setup cartridges are correctly installed. Sometimes, simply re-seating the cartridges can resolve the issue.
- Check for Genuine Cartridges: Ensure that you are using genuine HP cartridges. Non-HP cartridges might not be recognized by the printer.
- Reset the Printer: Try resetting the printer to see if it resolves the issue. You can do this by turning off the printer, unplugging it from the power source for about a minute, then plugging it back in and turning it on.
- Use Replacement Cartridges: If you don't have the setup cartridges, you might need to purchase replacement cartridges. Setup cartridges are specifically designed for initial setup and cannot be bypassed entirely.
- Check Printer Manual: Refer to the printer's manual or HP’s official support website for specific instructions related to your model.
In many cases, bypassing the need for setup cartridges is not possible, as they are required for the initial setup and calibration of the printer.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
