HP Deskjet 2652

I lost electricity the other day and when the lights came back on my printer decides to not work.  The orange light next to the "X" is blinking.  It is tells me that I need to re-insert the "Start cartridges".  The printer is over a year old so obviously I don't have them.  The cartridges that are in it are brand new maybe 3 weeks old.  Is there any way to bypass this crap?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

I understand you do not have the setup ink cartridges. To bypass the message on the printer the only option left is to perform an OOBE reset and re-initialize the printer.  

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.  

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
