HP Envy Photo 7158 “use Setup Cartridges”

[Daisy1955]

I just purchased the HP ENVY Photo 7158 two months ago and set it up no problem. I’ve been printing ever since. Now all of a sudden it’s giving me the “Use SETUP Cartridges” error and won’t print. I no longer have the Setup Cartridges since the printer WAS working with no problems. How do I bypass the error?

Hey there! @Daisy1955, 

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.

However, You will have to perform an OOBE reset on the printer to disable the "use setup cartridge error". As the steps are confidential and dedicated to your printer, I will share you the details through a private message.

I hope you have a great day! 🙂
