Setting up printer problem

[Madison312]

Hi,

I recently got a new printer from a friend that has never been used but they only gave me the printer without the cords or ink. I am setting up and realize the set up is requiring me to install the set ink cartages but since I don't have them I am at a stand still. Is there anyway to bypass this step? I have the ink that I bought off amazon, its just not the original from the box ink.

Hi @Madison312,

Welcome to HP Support Community! 

To bypass the message on the printer the only option left is to perform an OOBE reset and re-initialize the printer. 

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

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
