Hey there! @Hicksvilleusa,

 

Did you check with the store where you purchased the printer from about the setup cartridges?

 

SETUP ink cartridges are used only to set up a new HP printer or printhead and supply ink for the first series of your print jobs. They are specially designed to initialize a printer and calibrate ink levels. Unlike replacement ink cartridges, SETUP ink cartridges cannot be purchased from retailers and are available only in the box with a new printer or with some replacement printhead kits. When a SETUP ink cartridge is depleted, purchase and use a normal ink cartridge that matches your printer model to continue printing.

 

Refer this article to know more information about setup cartridges. Click Here

 

There is nothing much I can do to help you now. You would need the setups cartridges installed on your printer to get the printer working again.

 

Please contact HP phone support for service options.

Yes, I did talk to HP Support and was told I could buy the 2 missing  setup cartridges and then the tech tried to sell me a new printer.  When I said I wasn't interested in a new printer he then said the cartridges were not available.  I asked for a bypass resolution and was told there was none.   this 💩 sucks!!

Hi! @Hicksvilleusa,

 

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
