How to bypass setup cartridge

[zemery7139]

I recently received a HP officejet 6230 from my parents. It was not yet setup and the setup cartidges were not with the unit. I bought some other HP ink cartriges and tried to setup the printer but it will not print. 

How do i bypass the need for the setup cartidges to get the printer setup?

Thanks,

Zach

Hey there! @zemery7139, T

Did you check with the store where you purchased the printer from about the setup cartridges?

There is no way to bypass the setup cartridges error on this printer. You need the setup cartridges installed on the printer to print again.

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.
