HP Deskjet 2720
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, 

How to bypass setup cartridge for HP Deskjet 2720. I think the ones I have dont work. 
I bought new original cartridges but printer asks for the setup cartridges and I cant use the new ones I bought. 
HP Smart app also displays that I need the set-up ones.  Please help. 

Thanks.

Hi @JorgeGR,

 

We would have to perform an OOBE reset on the printer to bypass the error

  • The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello, my desktop 2720 is asking for the setup cartridges which I do not have as the printer was working. How can I bypass this request to get the printer to work. Thanks John [Personal Information Removed]

I have the same printer with the same error, i need the bypass method for the Deskjet 2720 because we dont have any longer the setup cartridges.

Actually we have inserted 2 original cartridges but we can use the printer because the Hp Smart software says user action needed for the setup cartridges
