I had a problem with this printer and did a Reset thinking it might help.

 

Now I find I cannot complete the process without the original set up ink cartridges.

I no longer have them.  Is there any way to get around the circle of messages

that tell me to insert them and continue?

I have tried pressing return four times, but it does not seem to work since

I can never get to a "home" screen.

 

If this fails, I need to buy another printer.

Thank you for any help you can provide.
