Bypassing Setup Cartridges

[fredmalcolm]

I purchased my printer, bought new cartridges, and flew to another state.  While trying to set it up here, my printer needs the "setup cartridges", which I no longer have.

May I please have the instructions sent to me in a private message for bypassing the setup cartridges?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @fredmalcolm

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Installing normal ink cartridges during the initial printer setup causes a printer error prompting you to install SETUP ink cartridges. The printer cannot be set up without associated SETUP ink cartridges installed. If you purchased a new HP printer that requires SETUP ink cartridges but did not come with SETUP ink cartridges, got to HP Customer Support - Contact to contact HP.

Have a great day!

As stated in my previous message, I don't have the SETUP cartridges anymore. It is possible to set up the printer without them?  Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid, you'll have to contact the HP Support for the set up inks. 

Thanks!

Hello can I please get instructions on how to bypass set up cartridges for the HP ENVY 5055? Unfortunately we no longer have the original set up cartridges that came with the copier/printer. Thanks!

I have an HP Envy 5052 and I am having the same problem.  It is asking for setup cartridges which I no longer have.  Please send me instructions to bypass.
