There is a way to bypass the setup cartridges but I do not know how for the 8100 series.
Looking at this post, it seems like @Irfan_06 knows how to do this. Possibly Irfan will respond to this notification.
I do not know why the printer suddenly asked for setup cartridges. Did you recently update the firmware?
Do some type of factory reset? Was there a power surge?
Just guessing.
