Can't reconnect my printer due to instant ink

[mint3]

Hp smart app made me restart my 9018 printer and that erased the instant ink info from my printer. When I try to reconnect it it tells me that I cant use my cartages till my printer is enrolled in instant ink. then it tells my to print a sheet to align my printhead, and its not letting me skip the step. since my printer is not enrolled yet I cant use my ink  so Its not possible to print the sheet. and i cant get it to a normal state so it's not connecting to the hp app. I basically can't use my printer at all

HI, 

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I can't do any of these troubleshooting steps because I can't get my printer to a normal state,  my printer says that I need to align the printhead by printing a page and my only option is to press continue, bit if i press continue it freezes because of the instant ink cartages, online it says that I am enrolled but it's not ready to print and on my printer it says that I am not enrolled. I can't even access my printer settings or anything else.
