Normally during the warming process, printers check inks, rollers, papers ... then stop if no available inks. I am actually using a printer with no ink as a scanner, (my friends gave me an A3 Epson printer after my (retied) farewell lunch  5 years ago. I did not buy more inks after the first set).   Please try yourself first.

 

Please try

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.  Apologies for jumping in here.

 

Which HP printer model is that? Should be able to scan without the ink cartridges.

 

Refer to this resource:

Hope that helps!

I am an HP Employee. Although I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
