Urgent! I've lost my Starter Cartridges and can't get the printer to work :(

[Jax111]

I have a new HP Deskjet 2800e series printer and can't find the black starter cartridge.
I have tried to set it up but I need this cartridge for it to work.
Please can you advise how to set up with it asap - thanks!

Hi @Jax111 ,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

To Bypass Using Setup Cartridges for HP Deskjet 2800e  the only option left is to perform an OOBE reset and re-initialize the printer. 

The reset instructions are specific to 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 instructions to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
