I have had my HP printer for 6 years. Printer wont print

[Lucky1233]

I have an HP printer for the past 6 years.  I always go to Walmart and buy refills.  They usually dry out before I use them because I don't print that much now that I'm retired.  Someone was selling ink because she got another printer.  It fit my copier fine.  It printed what was in the Que then a notice came up that it won't print until I join HP ink program.  I How do I continue to print without doing .

Hi @Lucky1233 ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand your HP Envy 5661 printer Printer won't print. 

Here are a few steps you can try to bypass the prompt and continue printing:

May I know

1. Since when are you facing this issue

2. Have you made any changes on your printer post that this issue raised and have you observed any light blinking on the display

3, May I know if you are using genuine cartridges

• Check Printer Settings: Navigate to your printer's settings menu and look for any options related to ink or cartridge management. There may be an option to bypass the Instant Ink notification.
• Reset Printer: Sometimes, resetting the printer to its factory defaults can clear any prompts or messages. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.
• Remove and Reinsert Cartridges: Try removing the cartridges from the printer and reinserting them. This can sometimes reset the cartridge status and allow you to continue printing.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
