Bypass Setup Cartridges

[AlomaSW1]

I am attempting to connect my HP DeskJet 4152e to my HP laptop.  I am down (hopefully) to the last issue.  I no longer have the SETUP cartridges that came with the printer.  May I please have the instructions to bypass the issue?  Many thanks.

Hi @AlomaSW1,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Sure! If you don't have the SETUP cartridges for your HP Deskjet 4152e printer, you can still set it up using regular ink cartridges. Here's how you can bypass the SETUP cartridge requirement.

• Turn on the printer: Ensure that your HP Deskjet 4152e printer is turned on and properly connected to power.
• Open the ink cartridge access door: Open the ink cartridge access door of your printer. Usually, you can find this door at the front or top of the printer.
• Wait for the carriage to become idle: After opening the ink cartridge access door, wait for the carriage to become idle and silent. This may take a few moments.
• Install the regular ink cartridges: Insert the regular ink cartridges into their corresponding slots. Make sure to match the color and number of the cartridges with the slots.
• Close the ink cartridge access door: Once you've inserted all the ink cartridges, close the ink cartridge access door securely.
• Wait for initialization: Your printer will now initialize the ink cartridges. This process may take a few minutes. During this time, your printer may make some noise, and the ink cartridge lights may flash.
• Print a test page: Once the initialization process is complete, you can print a test page to ensure that the printer is working properly.

By following these steps, you should be able to bypass the SETUP cartridge requirement and set up your HP DeskJet 4152e printer using regular ink cartridges.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
