HP OfficeJet 5258 All-in-One Printer

I purchased my HP OFFICE JET 5258 quite some time ago. It was actually cheaper to buy a new printer than to purchase the ink cartridges alone. It is out of warranty [Personal Information Removed] I'm sure. I just used the ink cartridges for my other HP printer. Not realizing until today (three + years later) I need setup cartridges to get the printer working, but I don't have any. What can I do to get the printer working? Can I get replacement setup cartridges, is there any kind of work around? I've tried the Virtual Assistant to no avail. I'm stopped @ "Use SETUP cartridges" Apparently I've exhausted all the troubleshooting with the V/A and the V/A suggested (as a last ditch effort I guess) to ask here. So here we are...   Thanks for your time and have a great day.
