Thank you for much for making this video. I just purchased a new printhead that came with new setup cartridges. The instructions indicated that your must use the new setup cartridges with the new printhead, yet I got this same error message "Do not use setup cartridges" and the old cartridges wouldn't work either. Following your instructions resolved the problem.
Close enough - It worked. My 8600 would not allow me to press the "Home" button while the setup cartridges were in place. It was not illuminated and nothing happened when I pressed it. I remove the cartridges, closed the door, allowed the printhead to move back to the right. Then the "Home" button illuminated. I followed you steps exactly after that. At the end, when you opened the door, so did I and I inserted the setup cartridges at that time. Viola!
Thank you for getting back to me with the details requested. Could you follow the steps mentioned below- 1. Touch the Home button once, then the Back button twice, then the Home button once. 2. Open the ink cartridge access door, and then close it. A Load Paper message displays on the control panel display, and the printer begins initializing. 3. If the initialization does not begin, repeat steps 1 and 2 until it does. 4. Follow the prompts on the control panel display to complete initialization. Let me know how that goes for you. 😊
I’ve looked all over. Having an issue with my HP Office Jet Pro 9015. It came with damaged setup cartridges. Put in standard replacements and it says it needs the set up cartridges. Don’t know what to do. Please help
Hi, thanks for the video. The issue is, after following all of your steps, it now keeps showing me an error message about my ink leaking. It won't go away. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Hi, & Thank You for the Video. I watched your informative video with interest and was hoping I could do same with my HP Officejet Pro X476dw MFP printer with 971 970 8 inch cartridges, I was given 2 complete sets of ink cartridges when I first had the printer from new, both sets were SETUP ink cartridges, I have just tried to use the new set but I'm getting the exact same message as in your video "do not use SETUP Cartridges" I tried your method and followed each step but I cannot get past the system configuration menu to get to Ink intialization status as my printer does not show this option, only "Service Ink contaner or Duplex Module" I don't know what to do next? Can You help please if you know this printer, Thanks
Does not work for offiejet 8740 I can get to the ink initialization set press ok to clear it but nothing happens after i press it 3 times open the door wait then close still gives do not use setup cartridges.
I have a HP 8600 printer using the 950xl and the color cartridges. My black ink is low and I have new setup cartridges. It gives "HP protected cartridge installed. Replace cartridges." Now none of the buttons are working includung the back. When I put my old cartridge and do the setup as described and then put the setup cartridge it is still giving the same error

hi, can you help with 8730
I got to the ink set up and when I opened the door to set it and closed it the screen never changed to accept the cartridges? I have the 8630.
Will this work with cartridges from a different region as well?
Once you unlock it, How do you reverse it?
Wondering the same thing. Now I am getting an error saying: "Remove and inspect cart for leaks..." Not going away...
Hey simonz, du you know any solution for the region lock to z40 on the 8620? my region is z20, and i can't use all these cartridges no more :'(
Thanks a lot! Made my day! :)
Do you think this will work on HP 950/951 Instant Ink Cartridges?
How about hp 477dw ,please
Hi, & Thank You for the Video. I watched your informative video with interest and was hoping I could do same with my HP Officejet Pro X476dw MFP printer
with 971 970 8 inch cartridges, I was given 2 complete sets of ink cartridges when I first had the printer from new, both sets were SETUP ink cartridges,
I have just tried to use the new set but I'm getting the exact same message as in your video "do not use SETUP Cartridges" I tried your method and followed each step
but I cannot get past the system configuration menu to get to Ink intialization status as my printer does not show this option, only "Service Ink contaner or Duplex Module"
I don't know what to do next? Can You help please if you know this printer, Thanks
Does not work for offiejet 8740 I can get to the ink initialization set press ok to clear it but nothing happens after i press it 3 times open the door wait then close still gives do not use setup cartridges.
8740 is not same as 8610/8620/8630 generation. HP blocked it.
I have a HP 8600 printer using the 950xl and the color cartridges.
My black ink is low and I have new setup cartridges.
It gives "HP protected cartridge installed. Replace cartridges."
Now none of the buttons are working includung the back.
When I put my old cartridge and do the setup as described and then put the setup cartridge it is still giving the same error
For 8600 series, follow the below link.
