Is there any way to use a new HP ENVY 5012 without the setup cartridges?

[Thetick58]

I have a new HP ENVY 5012, but I do not have the setup cartridges.  Is there any way to use the printer without the setup cartridges, and if not, is there any way to get replacement setup cartridges?

@Thetick58, Welcome to HP Support Community!

I understand that you do not have setup ink cartridges, there is no way to get new setup ink. However, we can try to bypass the use of setup ink during the setup by performing an OOBE reset.

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.
