Using Setup cartridges after set up?

Hello
I purchased a Photosmart 5520 in July 2013. The original printer was replaced under warranty due to a hardware fault. A new one arrived with new set up cartridges. Everything was set up and it worked perfectly. 
Today I have come to change the cartridges, using what I think are the original printers set up cartridges, and naturally they don't work.
Is there anyway of using these cartridges at all? I don't want to have to buy new ones when these are perfectly good! That's not very 'environmentally friendly' is it HP?!
Many thanks in advance.
Stuart

Sorry, after the initial setup cartridges are used up the printer will require retail cartridges for the replacements.  I am surprised you were not asked to return the original printer and its cartrdiges when you got the replacement printer.

    No.  I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

  • Use SETUP Cartridges

    I just got this Printer HP Deskjet Advantage 5525
    When I put the ink that came with the printer, this message in the printer screen says "Use SETUP Cartage"!! (Please Use the SETUP Cartridges that came with your printer)
    Actually, I put the orginal.
    This question was solved.

    The setup cartridges are used for initial installation, after the ink is used you would replace them with standard supplies.  
    If the cartridges that came in the box did not work I would suggest the troubleshooting steps in the document here.  If that does not resolve the issue I would suggest you Contact HP for warranty service.

  • Can you bypass the Use Setup Cartridges on a HP Deskjet 3070

    Hi
    We have a Deskjet 3070 which was printing in different colours instead of black even with new black cartridges installed. So, we decided to do a factory reset by powering off and useing the OK, Cancel and On/Off power button sequence. Now it is looking for the Setup Cartidges but these were thrown out ages ago. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    JK

    Hi @ShamrockLiniux , and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are experiencing setup cartridge requests. 
    When performing the type of reset performed, the printer will require setup cartridges. 
    The best recommendation I could make would be to contact HP directly.  You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide.

  • How many times can use setup cartridge?

    How many times can use setup cartrige?
    Can i setup more printers of same model with same setup cartridge?

    We dont need to use the setup cartridges if the printer gets into any problem like ink cartridge rejection or paper jam or any failure.
    Can you let me know what reset are you perfoming, for any hard reset or reset done from front panel menu we dont require any setup cartridges.
    The setup cartridges are required only if there is any printer hardware replacement.

  • Deskjet 3070a use setup cartridges error

    Hi I am having th same error message asking me to use the setup cartridges, i have no idea why I have changed the cartridges several times and to my knowlidge the power has not been removed from the printer, I have managed to find three of the original setup cartridges but not he black as no doubt that has been changed most often and was disposed of.
    this seems to be a very poor system, it looks as if I shall have to buy another printer which is a shame as this one has worked faultlessly for some time now, it is well out of warenty. Please help sombody,
    regards Mike

    Hi @Mikepaget, 
    I understand that you are getting the message to "use the setup cartridges". You have already had several cartridges installed, so the setup cartridges wouldn't be required. I can help you.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I have provided a document with some steps to try.

  • NetBIOS name still used in URLs after setting to FQDN

    Hi there,
    I've been toying around wit the SP2013 180 days trial version for some days now. Got things working. Exploring file libraries since that is problably our main point of interest.
    But I came around one other thing that anoys the hell out of me.
    To make the site publicly available I made an altenate path (default) for sharepoint 80. In it the FQDN http://shareit.somedomein.nl instead of http://shareit. Shareit being the netbios name of the host. This seems to work just fine... but whenever I try
    to acces my profile, or change it, the link still point to http://shareit... the netbios version (if you can call it that).
    How do I change that? I expected the links to be updated automagicly since IIS does not seem to listen to the simple hostname_only URL anymore.
    Peter

    There's a couple of common pitfalls around this, I believe what you need to do is to change the MySites URL as detailed in step 2 here (although he's going from FQDN to short name the process is identical for you).

  • Cannot use telephone after setting up fax

    I use the same line for talking and faxing. After I plugged in the phone line to the fax my phone stopped working. I can dial out and the phone rings in but nobody can hear me and I cannot hear them.

    Hi @acmyra76,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I see that you cannot use your telephone after setting up fax with your HP Officejet 6830 on Windows 8. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    Is your phone line an analog or digital phone service? Analog. Digital. What’s the Difference? 
    If your phone service is digital you may need to get a filter for the line.
    I would recommend going through this guide, Cannot Send or Receive Faxes, to verify the fax is connected properly.
    For future reference, here is your printer's user guide, HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer User guides.
    You might also want to contact your phone company as well, just to make sure there are no issues with them.
    Hope this information helps, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • Setup cartridges

    Hello, I have gotten completely stuck on my HP Deskjet 3070A all in one. It has worked very well for a couple of years. Suddenly it wouldn't use black ink at all. Other colors printed fine. Of course I replaced the black ink with a new cartridge, and of course I tried the printhead cleaning options. I then tried to follow an instruction to do a reset of the printer, but the result was that I now get a "Thank you for choosing HP" every time I turn the printer on, and when I press "OK" to that, I invariably get the message "Use SETUP cartridges". I have seen various solutions to this on this board, and have tried to follow each of the variations, but to no avail. I have tried disconnecting the power with cartridges in and with cartridges out. Still the same message:"Use SETUP cartridges". I live in the UK, and calling the UK support led nowhere. I cannot find any official information in my documentation about resets or how, when, or why to use setup cartridges (other than the initial setup after purchase). I have long since discarded my setup cartridges, as I had no idea they were essential later, and they had run out of ink anyway. I would be willing to purchase new setup cartridges, if needed, but cannot find any place to buy them online (and I assume only HP can supply them anyway). Also, I have no idea whether setup cartridges are tied to a printhead, so that it all needs to be replaced together. Any help at all would be appreciated. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You mentioned that you contacted HP by phone, but received no support, is that because the printer isn't in warranty or were they just not able to resolve the issue?
    I would honestly weigh your options here.
    If the ink levels are at zero, I would recommend replacing the cartridges as the best troubleshooting step that you could try. There really is no way to try any other troubleshooting steps until you have cartridges in the printer that actually have ink. You can't do anything with empty cartridges unfortunately. 
    Then again, I would see how much buying a new printer would cost you vs the cartridges. With a new printer, you will have a new set of starter cartridges and a one year warranty that will cover any hardware and software issues that you may have, if any. It's also possible to purchase an extended warranty though HP, that will cover any issues with the printer after the one year warranty is up. 
    So really that decision is up to you.
    If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.  I really appreciate it!
    Best of luck,

  • 3070A setup cartridge message

    Hi I have had a 3070A all in one for a year or so (it is out of warranty). I have just replaced the cartridges, we must have used about 10 sets over the time we have had the printer. The cartridges are genuine HP, although we have used other brands one or twice.
    Suddenly I am getting the message "use SETUP cartridges for initialisation" and it won't print or copy.
    I have tried unplugging the mains and rebooting it to no avail. I have long since lost the setup cartidges.
    Is there any way around this?
    Any help very much appreciated -  I need to print some tickets out urgently!!!
    Thanks

    Thank you for this information.
    Since none of these steps worked, I would recommend contact HP technical support for further assistance. Click here to find out: HP Worldwide Contact.

    Hello Franka25,  You may have to call HP Technical Support to obtain the SETUP cartridges as they are not available outside HP. Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.

  • No setup cartridges for HP 5514

    Can the error message Use Setup Cartridges be bypassed if I don't have them? I got this printer from my mom but don't have the setup cartridges and spent money on new cartridges. I can't even get through installation because its stuck on the error screen!

    Hi, you'll need to contact HP Phone Support about this - let them know you no longer have the SETUPs.

  • HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-O​ne - SETUP Cartridges cannot be used

    I purchased a refurbished Deskjet 3520 today from a local electronics store that came with SETUP Cartridges in the box.  I turned on the printer, installed the cartridges, and received the following error message:
    ! Do not use SETUP
    SETUP cartridges cannot be used after the device has been initialized.  Remove and install non-SETUP cartridges.
    Is there a way for me to do a factory restore / reset so that I can get these cartridges to work?  The cartridges themselves have not been used before.  Just trying to save money and use the cartridges that came with the device.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello busackzl,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Deskjet 3520. Please try these steps:
    1) Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector
    2) Take out the ink cartridges, close the cartridge door
    3) Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer (Do not press the power button)
    4) Wait 60 seconds or more
    5) Plug the power cord back into the printer, wait for the printer to turn on completely
    6) Now, install the ink cartridges
    If you are still receiving the same message, then please contact HP technical support for further assistance. Click here to find out: HP Worldwide Contact.
