Product: HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 All-in-One Printer

I've been given this printer second-hand, and as such was not given the setup cartridges.

 

Would love a bypass for this, if possible.

 

Figured it out. From wherever menu the printer lands (in my case, the error page it would show me for the setup cartridges), press the unlit 'back' button four times. That should bring up the support menu. It took some digging through, but eventually find the 'Trade to OOBE' or other similar menu, and enable it. Restart the printer, and it aught to have been bypassed.
