Exchange unused ink cartridges after buying a new printer

[aparaapara]

Anyone?  I think I should be able to exchange these new and un-used cartridges for something I can use.

How can I return unused ink for new cartridges that my new printer will take?

EVERYONE,

I have received an official answer from HP.  

The exchange program is available ONLY IF YOU PURCHASED YOUR PRINTER DIRECTLY FROM HP.  If you purchased an HP printer from ANYWHERE ELSE, you CANNOT exchange your cartridges and are stuck with them.

If you purchased your printer directly from HP, email: isbescalationteam@hp.com with your request. 

Unfortunately, I did not buy the printer from directly from HP.com.  I purchased it from Costco.  Therefore, I was not able to return the cartridges:

Here is the official response:

Hello Alex,

Thank you for the information.

Please be informed Ink Exchange program is provided to those customers whose printers are upgraded directly from HP. Here, since printer was not purchased from HP directly we will not be able to exchange ink cartridges. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Please get back to us if you have any questions, we will be glad to help you.

Yesterday I bought an OfficeJet 3830. I have a few unused 74 and 75 cartridges from my old OfficeJet J6400. How can I get them exchanged? Thanks!
