Hello, I am recently started working from home and finally I am finally starting to use my Tango printer, but I cannot. I believe the setup cartridges were thrown away when I moved. I have fresh cartridges, but I cannot get past the setup since I am missing the setup cartridges. Someone please help!

Hi @Hobble1,
We would have to perform an OOBE reset on the printer to bypass the error
- The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.

Hi,
Same problem, but with a x576dw. All chat support told me was that it’s out of warranty. I knew that. But it was new in the box as of today and there are definitely no setup cartridges in there. There’s a way around this? Or can I purchase some? Thanks.

Good Morning,
I am having a similar issue with HP Officejet 4620. I was gifted this to use due to COVID19 work from home and do not have set up cartridges. Please help with a solution as soon as possible.
Thank you!!!

I'm using the setup for HY ENVY Photo 7855 printer and it stops and tells me that I need to use the setup cartridge, yet I AM using the setup cartridges. I bought the computer a few months ago but had not opened the box until today.
