I am having the same issue with a HP PhotoSmart 7520. It was gifted to me without the Startup ink.

Can I please have instructions as well? I don't have the setup cartridges since I bought my printer about 4 years ago, I have the serial number at hand, I cannot get past the setup ink cartridge error message and tech tried bypassing through my computer and doing anything they could but couldn't help at all, please help me ? I'd just like to be able to print, I already have new ink cartridges ready as well. I'd love your reply

I am trying to setup my HP Office jet 6600 printer and it keeps telling me that I need the setup cartridges.  Well I can't use them because they have dried up because the printer set in the shed for a year.  What can I do to setup the printer without them?
