I cannot print. I receive an error stating that I must connect my printer to update HP Instant Ink status. If I try to do this by pressing Connect on the screen then I receive a message stating that my printer is being updated and that the process may take a few minutes; however, no updates ever seem to happen. I have followed multiple procedures that I have found on HP's website to resolve my issues but nothing seems to help.
I know that my printer is connected to the network because I am able to scan documents to my computer with no problem. The network connection doesn't seem to be the problem but rather the problem appears to be the "connection" to HP Instant Ink. I have followed some instructions that try to get me to enter a printer clam code but I apparently have to print a page to get that code and my problem is that I can't print, so that doesn't help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
