Can you print without instant Ink subcription

@shawnco,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Yes, you can absolutely print on your HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 without an HP Instant Ink subscription. You are never forced to use the subscription service to operate your printer, and you can transition back to purchasing your own ink at any time.

However, if you decide to cancel or bypass the subscription, there are two critical rules you must follow to ensure your printer continues to work seamlessly on Windows 11:

1. Remove Any "Instant Ink" Cartridges Immediately:

The most important thing to know is that Instant Ink subscription cartridges will completely stop working the moment your billing cycle ends after cancellation.

• These specific cartridges are digitally locked to the service. Even if they are completely full of ink, the printer will refuse to use them once the subscription is inactive.
• To continue printing, you must purchase standard, retail HP 962 (or HP 962XL) ink cartridges from a local store or online retailer and physically swap them out.

2. Check if You Activated "HP+" During Setup:

Whilst the standard HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 does not require a subscription, you need to check if you accidentally opted into HP+ (usually indicated if your model has an "e" at the end, like 9025e):

• Standard Model: If you did not activate HP+, you can use standard original HP cartridges or compatible third-party remanufactured cartridges.
• HP+ Enrolled: If you opted into HP+ during your initial Windows 11 setup, the subscription itself is still optional, but the printer permanently requires genuine HP cartridges with an official HP chip to function.

Quick Transition Checklist for Windows 11:

1. Log into your account on the HP Instant Ink Portal and officially cancel the plan.
2. Take out the subscription cartridges and insert your newly purchased retail cartridges.
3. If Windows 11 gives you a "Subscription Error" or print queue freeze, simply open your HP App, click on your printer icon, and ensure your account status updates to show the subscription is removed.

Are you currently getting an error message on your Windows 11 screen, or are you looking for the exact steps to officially cancel your subscription without getting charged extra?

Kind Regards,
