Got an HP envy 6100e series, without the setup cartridges. How do I bypass this?

Fixed it myself. Connected the printer to the computer via usb cable, opened the hp smart app and run the troubleshooter. The printer started working and assumes the original cartridges.

I asked one of the moderators here to help you.  I have a list of bypass codes but do not have one for the 6100 series.

 

Let me know if you get it to work .

Were the original cartridges marked "setup"?

Usually one has to run through hidden menu tricks to bypass the requirement for setup cartridges!
