HP desk jet plus 4152 reinstallation is asking for setup cartridge, which I dont have

[Kimberly51]

I had to factory reset my laptop because of some issues it was having....so I removed all USB plugs and reset it. Then I tried added the app again and proceeded to add my HP Inkjet Plus 4125 but it wants to set up a new printer and is asking to finish the setup I needed the set up cartridges. Ive had this printer for about 3 years....I dont have the set up cartridges anymore. How can I get around this. Also the ink cartridges in the printer are fairly new....about a month old.

Hi @Kimberly51,
Welcome to HP Support Community. This is a great place to post questions and find answers.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing setup cartridge issues on your HP DeskJet Plus 4152 All-In-One Printer.

Please follow the steps listed below to initialize the printer using the regular cartridges.

1. Open the ink cartridge access door.
2. Press and hold the Wireless button for at least three seconds.
3. Close the ink cartridge access door. An alignment page prints, indicating that the printer has initialized.
4. If the printer does not initialize, repeat these steps until it does.
 

Let me know if this helps and have a good day.
