While installing the Printer, I see the same problem faced by others: Do not use Setup Cartridges.

Did the Power cable off and the other steps that you mentioned.

Still the same problem.

Seems to be a defective model.

If no response, I intend to return this printer.

Regards.

Hello, @travelcto – Greetings!
 

Allow me to welcome to HP Support Forums! It is a great platform to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others!


I understand that you are facing issues with your new Envy printer. First off, your Envy printer does not have setup cartridges. Hence, this seems to be an incorrect error message on the printer. Try to perform a power reset on the printer to try and fix the issue.
 

  • Remove the cartridges from the printer.
  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.


If the issue persists, please contact the HP phone support to get the service options.

Sorry, you have given the same standard reply as you gave to another message on this subject.

It was a set up set of cartridges and it is also mentioned on the cartridges.

I did the procedure you mentioned but the error remained the same.

 

Since it was late evening, I went to the Staples store next morning and bought the ink cartridges and it worked fine.

 

I had an urgent printing job on the day I received the printer and I could not do it. 

If the company wanted to keep the printer acquisition cost low, at least I could have been warned at the time I bought the printer. I would have ordered the cartridges then, so as to get it working from the moment I received it.

 

This is unfair business practice and it does not behove a company like HP to stoop so low.
