Setup Without Setup Cartridges?

[LGG84]

Good evening, does anyone know if it's possible to complete the initial printer setup (HP OfficeJet Pro 8035) without the original setup cartridges?  When the printer arrived they were leaking and the tape was ripped off and I was afraid that they would ruin the printer if I installed them, so I (stupidly) discarded them thinking I could just complete the initial printer setup with the brand new cartridges that I ordered from HP Instant Ink. However I just installed the new ones, and am now realizing that I cannot complete the initial setup process without the originals, so I'm not sure how to proceed from here....is there a way to bypass this step? Any info or tips on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! : ) 

Best Regards,

LG

Hi @LGG84,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

I'd like to help!

To bypass setup cartridge error, We would have to perform an OOBE reset on the printer to bypass the error 

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