Photosmart Wireless B110a Full reset or OOB reset?

[JF35]

Hi,

I am trying to set up my Photosmart Wireless B110a printer with official HP inks.  It is showing a message to "Use setup cartridges" which I no longer have.  To bypass this message should I perform a 'full reset' or an 'OOB reset' in the service menu?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

None, after any of those two, resets the printer will still ask for a setup cartridges.

Thank you for your reply.

Is there any way to bypass this message and finish the printer setup?

Although the printer was new and has been unused for a few years, I don't have the setup cartridges.

Thanks.

You have few videos on YT on how to bypass setup cartridges message on newer printers models than yours, try that, if that's not helpful you will neet to obtain new setup cartridges if you want to use that printer.

Hi, thanks again for your reply.

After a while searching YT there are no options that work for my Photosmart B110a. The printer does not have a 'Trade at OOBE' option in the service menu.  Are there any other workarounds like installing non-official printer cartridges?

I can't find setup cartridges for sale anywhere. Even replacement printheads don't seem to come with setup cartridges. Although I realize misplacing the setup cartridges was an error, I'm amazed that it seems the printer is rendered totally useless without these cartridges with no ability to purchase replacements to resolve the issue.

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

I have resolved this issue.

It seems this model of HP photosmart printer (B110a) has 2 totally separate service menu's accessible on startup. One of which shows the option 'Trade at OOBE' in system configuration.

This has resolved my problem of missing setup cartridges and the printer is now working.
